From Devotion to Decor

God Said Let Us Make Man
God Said, “Let Us Make Man.” Man Said, “Let Us Make God.” In Ex 32 Aaron’s excuse in making a golden calf says that the people said to him, “Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this fellow Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, […]
