“Jeremiah swings back and forth like a betrayed human. Hosea, five times, swings back and forth literally like a betrayed human and says this is the heart of a betrayed God. If we can’t access that God, who is betrayed, with His heart tones, I think it fails to give the church license to express itself and light tones. The heart of God comes out all over the old testament, and so commonly in poetry, and we’ve industrialized our way into the place where we don’t need that poetry in our heads. And the reality is we are missing it. I’m just grief stricken for a church that doesn’t know how it God feels about it because it can’t read the tones that he’s written to them in.
