If we push God out of the way, out of our lives, it becomes very easy to build up all manner of self-involved, self-important ideas which seem profound, seem to make sense, and we easily believe we're secure in standing behind each of them.

When we bring God into our lives, we begin to realize the utter "house of cards" nature of so much we hold dear, and we begin to see there is a true foundation which is real, substantial, and founded entirely upon that which God told us before even our distant ancestors were ever born.

God gives us a choice ... every day ... in everything we do. We either choose Him, or we don't.
