By Wes Lancaster
In North America, including,
the Palmer area most people
would feel insulted if they were
labled idol worshippers. But by
God’s definition most people are,
including many who profess to be
truly Christian.
The first law that God deliver
ed to man was simply this; “Thou
shalt have no other gods before
Me.” What is it to have some
“other god” before Him? What
ever is first in our affections;
whatever has our greatest inter
est, devotion, allegience and ef
fort in life—that is our god! If
the God of heaven is not first
with us in the manner just de
scribed, then something or some
one else is. An,d that “something
else” is our god for it takes the
place that belongs to our Creator
and Redeemer.
This is the basic sin that
brought the downfall of man in
the garden of Eden. “My way in
stead of God’s Way!” Self en
throned instead of God. Anything
that is unlike Christ in our atti
tudes is self and to please self
ahead of God is idolatry.
So long as man goes his own
way instead of God’s way we will
have “civil war” inside us. We
will be shackled in slavery to sin
and we will have cruel destruc
tion in the world. v
For yourself and your children
WOULDN’T YOU rather have
God?
