Love Refused

An appeasement theology was the foundation of every pagan religion, an angry god must need to be appeased. Therefore, Yahweh starts his conversation with Israel right there. Something like this, “all right, Abraham, if that's where you are, then that's where we'll start”, but brace yourself this is not where the conversation will ultimately end up.

I know this because God was willing to begin a conversation with me in my legalism, but love refused to allow the conversation to stop there. Psalm 51:16-17, “You do not delight in sacrifice. You take no pleasure in burnt offering.”
