This was too good not to re-print…many of you saw it on Instagram, I’m sure. It bottom lines the miscalculation of what people think about God and how important it is to boldly step out identifying the One True God…
· The Atheist says: “There is no God”
· The Agnostic says: “There might be a God”
· The Humanist says: “Let’s remove God”
· Pornography says: “Sex is God”
· Greed says: “Money is God”
· The Proud say: “Power is God”
· Satan says: “Be your own god!”
The witchdoctor in our village in the Darien jungle had a basketful of wooden false gods. He was very powerful and yet, he laid down those idols to be burned the day he came to know the only true God, as his Savior. We didn’t have to go to a foreign heathen land to find false gods. America is full of them. One day opinions will flee, knees will bow and tongues will confess who the REAL GOD is!
“The worship of the false gods (listed above) in any form is Idolatry. “ That means anyone or anything that you love more than the one true God is officially your idol! “Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a worm and yet, he will make gods in his life by the dozens.” Michel de Montaigne When we define an idol in our life, we have moved from submission to Almighty God to succumbing to the lie of another…Satan, the false god.
“The intentional purpose of life is not to find your freedom, but your master”… P.T.Forsyth
Which one of these is your master?
