Idolatry of Politics.
Below is a post I wrote earlier this year about the idolatry of Politics. With the election next week, I thought I might repost it today. The key thing to remember is that our savior is not John McCain, Barack Obama, or even this country. God is still on the throne and will work all of this [...]
Full StoryWhy do we worship idols?
To answer this question simply: God made us this way. I know what you are thinking, God did not create me so that I would worship food, sex, politics, or whatever else. Such things are sinful, and God does not want us to sin so he could not have created us this way. To that point [...]
Full StoryIs Abortion a Child Sacrifice?
In the Old Testament we are told of a god, an idol called Molech that was worshipped by people in and around Israel. We are introduced to this god when the true God spoke to Moses in Leviticus telling him to tell the people of Israel to put to death anyone who “gives any of [...]
Full StoryObservation on Abortion & the Current Climate
I had a thought earlier today about the last two debates I have watched (VP & presidential) and I don’t think there was a single question in either of them about abortion yet both debates included questions about global warming? Now, I could be wrong about that and just missed it, but I don’t recall [...]
Full StoryIdolatry of Sex
Is there anything more powerful for more people than sexual desire? Some people are controlled by substance addictions, overeating, or achievement, but it seems like there are people all over that controlled by lustful sexual desires.
Just yesterday I saw clips of Bill Clinton giving his speech at the Democratic convention, and of course the first thing I think [...]
Worship in your Choices
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “worship?” Do you think about going to a church service? Singing songs in church? A type of music? These are probably the main things that come to mind when most people think about the word “worship.” Think about it. For many of us we go [...]
Full StoryIdentify Your Idols: Watch what you Pray For.
What have you been praying for lately? Is there one thing that you offer up to your Sunday school class or small group for prayer requests every week? If there is something that has been dominating your prayer life then it would be wise to take a step back and examine your heart because what [...]
Full StoryI. T. – Where do you find your identity?
How do you identify yourself? How do you define who your are?
Sometimes one of the most difficult questions I answer is, “Tell me about yourself.” How do you begin to answer such a question? In most normal conversations, our identity typically moves to the question, “What do you do?” For some reason we seem to [...]
I. T. – The idolatry of the American Dream.
I heard a message last night from William Guice tonight where he contrasted the “Kingdom of the World” to the “Kingdom of God.” One of things he hit on is the us vs. them mentality many of us get into in an election year like this one. He drove home how government, politics are not [...]
Full StoryI. T. – Gimmick over the Gospel.
I was flipping through the channels on the TV the other night and I landed on a preacher channel. I know, it is always dangerous to watch TV preachers because 9 times out of 10 (maybe higher) such “preachers” typically hold to some sort of heretical view. In this case, I decided to watch a [...]
