No Other gods

Exodus 20:4-5, Ezekiel 14:3, Hosea 14:1-3, Romans 1:24,25, I John 5:21 We think of idolatry as something of another age or of primitive cultures. Certainly we moderns are beyond such archaic notions. But our hearts can turn anything into an idol when we treat something else as an ultimate end, other than God. But our counterfeit gods ultimately enslave us and cannot deliver what they promise. The message and work of Christ is to rescue us from our idols and to bring us back to a place of love and trust and obedience to the only true God who loves us deeply and alone can give us what we really want–what we really need.
