1 Timothy 4:7 But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.
Recently, David Wells, a gifted theologian and one of the two founders of the current Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, expressed this condition well as he said:
"It is one of the defining marks of our culture that God is now weightless. I do not mean by this that God is ethereal, but rather that God has become unimportant. He rests upon the world so inconsequentially as not to be noticeable. He has lost his saliency for human life. Those who assure the pollsters of their belief in God’s existence may nonetheless demonstrate by their habits and beliefs that:
God is less interesting than television,
God’s commands are less authoritative than their appetites for affluence and influence,
God’s judgments are no more awe-inspiring than the evening news, and
God’s truth is less compelling than the advertisers’ sweet fog of flattery and lies.
That is weightlessness. It is a condition we have assigned God to, after having nudged him out to the periphery of our secularized life.
Weightlessness tells us nothing about God but everything about ourselves, about our condition, about our psychological disposition to exclude God from our reality .”
