St. Peter’s Lutheran | Moralistic Therapeutic Deism | September 22, 2024 | Pastor Adam Rodriguez | The deep faith knows that God is not in our lives to make us happy or to be at our beck and call, God demands things from us. While we can’t fulfill God’s demands, Jesus did on our behalf. We know that God is not at a distance, but rather, is intimately involved in our life through Christ. We cling to the work of Christ as we go throughout our life.
