"It is one of the defining marks of Our Time that God is now weightless. I do not mean by this that he is ethereal but rather that he has become umimportant. He rests upon the world so inconsequentially as not to be noticable. He has lost his saliency for human life. Those who assure the pollsters of their belief in God's existence may nonetheless consider him less interesting than television, his commands less authoritative thanm their appetites for affluence and influence, his judgment no more awe-inspiring than the evening news and his truth less compelling than the advertisers' sweet fog of flattery and lies. That is weightlessness. Its a condition we have assigned him after having nudged him out to the periphery of our secularized life."
- David Wells (taken from don't waste your life, John Piper)
Its so accurate, whether big or small the decision I think I also nudged him out to the periphery of my secularized life. Something to ponder abt huh?
