Psalm 97:7

All who worship images are put to shame,
Those who boast in idols-
Worship Him, all you gods!


Let us not think that idolatry is dead. Our society is entrenched in idol worship! Idol worship is elevating anything in creation above the Creator. Perhaps the most widely worshipped idol in America is sex and pornography. We worship images of creation instead of the Creator. More money is spent on the porn industry in the US than on the NFL, NBA, and MLB put together. Pornographic movies gross ten times the amount of all mainstream Hollywood movies! It is an epidemic that is reaching radical proportions. We are called to worship God! Instead we worship the desires of our bodies and fulfill them in perverted ways. Soon God will put our country to shame. He will put us as individuals to shame. We will be judged for our sins and our idol worship. Let us rise above what is the social norm, to what God calls us to be: set apart for His glory, lifting up His name above all other names.
