Access To God
Gen. 11:3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them
thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4Then they said,
"Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so
that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole
earth." (NIV)
These Genesis people wanted access to God. They were protesting the idea of being
scattered over the whole earth. They refused to do what God asked of them and at the same
time actively sought God out as a power source. They would be very comfortable in
today’s Christian worship world where we take such pride in building our mega-worship
machines, take pride in what we are doing, praise ourselves for what we will do, and
enthrall ourselves with ourselves. These Genesis people would be especially captivated by
our claims of getting great power from God. They would be comfortable in our worship
services where we talk about all our great achievements.
