Idolatry Has Taken Its Toll…..

If you want to understand why America has fallen so far in such a short time it can be attributed to this one issue: believers have allowed things to take the place of God. Either material, relational, power seeking, significance seeking, job related, or whatever you can put here, idolatry has taken its toll. The number one thing idolatry does to its practitioner is it keeps them from telling others about God’s faithless, mercy, and grace. How can we expect others, including our own children, to be respectful, moral, and God-honoring if we don’t do it ourselves? We cannot allow things to distract us. God deserves better. He deserves our best. Anything less is utter failure on our part. Our job is to pass on to others, and the next generation of Who God is and how our faith helps us cope. Pray to God today. Ask Him to forgive you of your idolatry. Then commit yourself to sharing the Good News with every soul you have conversation with. It’s not our obligation, it’s the only response that is appropriate to Receiving His Grace. Don’t wait, do it now. Our response to God’s grace shows Him what He means to us. Share it today. It’s how we rescue one soul at a time, and help flood the earth with Heaven-bound, God Worshippers.

 16 Lord, Your discipline is good,for it leads to life and health.You restore my health and allow me to live!17 Yes, this anguish was good for me,for You have rescued me from death and forgiven all my sins.18 For the dead cannot praise You;they cannot raise their voices in praise. Those who go down to the grace can no longer hope in Your faithfulness.19 Only the living can praise You as I do today. Each generation tells of Your faithfulness to the next.20 Think of it–the Lord is ready to heal me! I will sing His praises with instruments every day of my lifein the Temple of the Lord. Isaiah 38:16-20
