We are not called upon to make God plausible to the modern mind or the postmodern age. The God of the Bible cannot be accommodated to the secularist assumptions of so many modern people. The "God of our friends" fits easily into this modern secular framework and is easily received by a postmodern culture. The God of our friends neither wills nor acts.
In other words, only "the God of our fathers" can save.
Al Mohler has an excellent article, reflecting on Mitchell Silver's book, A Plausible God. Read the whole article here. It's a good reminder that we are called to communicate the truth in its entirety. As Mark Dever once said, where God has been clear and certain, we cannot choose to be uncertain. I pray that as we head out onto the campus this fall, God will give us all grace to speak of Him boldly, compassionately, and humbly.
