The Deception of Idolatry
It seems that few in the civilized world believe in idols. But there is a subtle form of idolatry that deceives millions. It's the sin of creating a god to suit ourselves. We form an idol in the imagination of our minds, making our own image of God. The reason this is so popular is that "our" god has no moral dictates. Worshippers of dumb idles love to have it so. You see that god wouldn't create Hell. He doesn't have a Moral Law or a Judgment Day. Such delusions give a "false peace." But there is an answer. George Whitefield said, "First, then, before you can speak peace to your hearts, you must be made to see, made to feel, made to weep over, made to bewail your actual transgressions against the Law of God." There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
