Today I heard someone say something to the effect of “We praise you God, because you’re so kind. And you’re so gentle. We praise you for your niceness.”

And later I thought to myself, man, how lame is that? You serve the Being of which no greater can be thought, and the best you can think of is “He is nice.” Sure, there are times when you need that. Gentleness has a proper place and all in the spectrum of things, but if that’s the best you can do?

The Almighty is fierce. If you can’t accept that, then I can’t take your faith seriously.
