Sermon Illustrations
Eugene Peterson on Our Dangerous Faith
Sometimes I think that all religious sites should be posted with signs reading, "Beware the God." The places and occasions that people gather to attend to God are dangerous. They're glorious places and occasions, true, but they're also dangerous. Danger signs should be conspicuously placed, as they are at nuclear power stations. Religion is the death of some people.
—Eugene Peterson, U.S. pastor, scholar, author, and poet (1932-2018)
