“The universe shudders in horror that we have this infinitely valuable,
infinitely deep, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, infinitely loving
God, and instead of pursuing him with steadfast passion and enthralled
fury — instead of loving him with all our heart, soul, mind, and
strength; instead of attributing to him glory and honor and praise and
power and wisdom and strength — we just try to take his toys and run. It
is still idolatry to want God for his benefits but not for himself.”
- Matt Chandler, The Explicit Gospel, pages 39–40
Like the "take his toys and run." part. This form of idolatry is very much present in His people today.
