If contemporary Christians ask themselves how much of their love reflects the love of God in its various dimensions, they should also ask themselves how much of their hatred reflects the hatred of God. Just as we can prostitute love, so we can prostitute hatred.

We have all learned to live with voice mail as a necessary part of modern life.
But you may have wondered: what if God decided to install voice mail?
Imagine praying and hearing this.
Thank you for calling The Lord's House.
Please select from the following options:
Press 1 for GENERAL REQUESTS
Press 2 for THANKSGIVING
Press 3 for COMPLAINTS
Press 4 for HEALING
Press 5 for HELP WITH THE IRS
Press 6 for RAIN or No RAIN
Press 7 for MIRACLES
Press 8 for LOTTERY WINNING NUMBERS
Press 9 for ALL OTHER INQUIRIES OR JUST TO SAY "HI"
Press 0 to hear this menu again
 
What if God used the familiar excuse.
"I'm sorry, all the angels are helping other SINNERS right now. Please stay on the line. Your call is important to us and will be answered in this millenium.
 
Can you imagine getting these kind of responses as you call God in prayer:
If you would like to speak to Gabriel, press 11
For Michael, press 22

Then wait for the beep and enter the number of the Psalm you wish to hear.

To reach Lucifer, press 666, and your call will be automatically transferred.
PLEASE be careful, your receiver may become warm.
