Something to think about: We 'try to take [H]is toys and run'

Here is a quote from The Explicit Gospel, the new book by Matt Chandler, lead pastor of The Village Church in Dallas:
The universe shudders in horror that we have this infinitely valuable, infinitely deep, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, infinitely loving God, and instead of pursuing him with steadfast passion and enthralled fury — instead of loving him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; instead of attributing to him glory and honor and praise and power and wisdom and strength — we just try to take his toys and run. It is still idolatry to want God for his benefits but not for himself.” (HT: Tony Reinke at the Desiring God blog)
