We invent a God in whom we wish to believe.

Dr. Mohler is President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. To my mind he is also one of the greatest teachers alive today. His ability to bring clarity to tough subjects is unequaled. His sermon, "How can a God of love send anyone to hell?", I believe, is one of the best, if not the best, I have ever heard on this question.

In it he explains who and why people go to hell. Furthermore, he comments on our American penchant for idolatry, which most of us are unaware is taking place. He says it is:
 "The idolatry wherein we invent a God in whom we wish to believe."
The messsage is 43 minutes long, but Mohler makes is seem as though it is way too short. It is well worth the investment in time to watch. I highly recommend it.
