Intimacy with God is so hard to talk about

Not for the 'obvious' reason of God being invisible, un-touchable, infinite, holy and un-knowable.

The difficult bit is that so many of the model He uses to describe His relationship with humanity are explained using examples from marriage and physical interaction. Our society is pretty badly wound up about sex, love and confused about how they inter-relate that using Song of songs and parts of Ezekiel to illustrate our relationship is pretty much a non-starter.

Cue sermon re-write for the second time.


Wonder if I'll manage to *usefully* offend anyone this morning.
