IDOLATRY

Idols are not just ancient history.
Do we grasp how God truly wants us to worship Him and Him alone?
Only the true God deserves our worship, not a god we make to suit ourselves.
Love of this world is not love of God.
A graven image is as close as one's mind.
To allow anything to ocuupy our thoughts more than God is to allow idolatry.
Reading the Word is the route to knowing the true God.
Young or old, we must actively flee from idolatry and trust in God alone.


“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
~Exodus 20:4-6~
