God Is Not A Vending Machine
|

Steve Chance has tackled a simple
truth that is avoided like the plague by many modern
Christians. That Jesus died on the cross for our
sins is good enough, but to share in his suffering
to many is interpreted as defeat�or worse,
abandonment by God. Steve is uniquely qualified and
seasoned by his life experience to offer insights
into the incarnational role of Christians in the
world. This is a serious and useful book for those
who would imitate and follow Christ. Jay Kesler President Emeritus Taylor University

As I often tell audiences when I speak to churches and other Christian groups, God is not a vending machine. We don't get to put in a dollar and punch a button to pop out the perfect spouse, or the ideal job, or a spacious home. There are also no buttons that we can push to take away our problems to instantly smooth over marital difficulties, eliminate job stress, make our kids behave better, or get rid of cerebral palsy. I am so grateful that Jesus Christ died to make things right between God and me. But to believe that his sacrifice leads to anything other than my reconciliation with God is to make a mockery of the cross.
