When people do not want to give God the recognition His name demands , they wind up paying the price . You can ’ t have a cafeteriastyle God where you get to pick and choose the things you want . God defines who He is , and
it is we who are to adjust to Him .
* A Few Good Men , directed by Rob Reiner ( Columbia Pictures Industries , Inc ., and Castle Rock Entertainment , 1992 ).
