TURN AWAY FROM IDOLS!

TURN AWAY FROM IDOLS


In the 21^st century=
It is PROBABLY easier than ever
To put things ABOVE GOD


Sex=money=drugs=alcohol=ANY=or
ALL of the above=even sports
Or fashion=anything we are
PUTTING AHEAD of God=is an IDOL
And should NOT be there


“They have been
QUICK to turn away
From what I have commanded them


And have MADE themselves an IDOL
Cast in the shape
Of a calf


They have
BOWED down to it
And SACRIFICED to it
And have said


'These are your gods=ISRAEL=
Who have brought you up
OUT OF EGYPT'” Exodus 32:7-8


So we see it wasn't
ANY EASIER for the people
THOUSANDS of years ago


They=too=put things ABOVE God
And a GOLDEN CALF
Of all things


God was going to DESTROY=his people=
But Moses PLEADED for=and
SAVED his people


I WONDER what God
THINKS of us=the people of AMERICA
In today's world


How about you=are you KEEPING God
FIRST=number ONE in your life?


“This is what
The Lord says


Israel's KING and Redeemer
The Lord Almighty


I am the FIRST
And I am the last
Apart from me
There is NO GOD” Isaiah 44:6


“But seek FIRST his kingdom
And his righteousness


And ALL these things
Will be given to you
As well” Matthew 6:33


ANYTHING you are putting
ABOVE God in life
Is an IDOL


Put GOD=keep God first=
In your life


“We love=
Because he FIRST LOVED US” 1 John 4:19


TURN AWAY from all the things
That are EMPTY PROMISES
TRUST God=trust the power
Turn away from IDOLS
Turn to the POWER OF GOD


“From the rest=
He makes a god=his idol


He bows down to it
And worships
He prays to it and SAYS=


'Save me!=you are my god!” Isaiah 44:17


“So then about eating
Food=sacrificed to IDOLS


We know that
'An idol is NOTHING
At all in this world'


And that
'There is NO God
BUT ONE'” 1 Corinthians 8:4


TURN to God the FATHER=and=
HIS Son Jesus=
They alone=have the POWER
To save US


In the names of Jesus=and God=
HIS HOLY FATHER
