Do you remember those coloring books from preschool and that constant reminder: “Just don’t go outside the lines”? One careless stroke of the crayon was enough to ruin the whole picture, and you had to start all over again. This childhood image introduces a sermon on the story of the golden calf, when the Israelites, impatient with God’s silence, decided to cross the designated line and build themselves an idol (Exodus 32).
