Which God Do You Worship?

10/29/2018

In Romans 1:25 we are given a pretty clear picture of the focus of our worship.  It talks about people “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” The chapter goes on to identify numerous sins for those who worship the creation rather than the Creator. Over the past 50 years we have witnessed a transformation in our culture from worshiping God, the Creator, to worshiping His creation as a substitute. 
          It hasn’t happened all at once.  Perhaps the beginning was the removal of prayer from the public schools.  No longer was there a daily remembrance of who the Creator really is.  The legalization of abortion also removed the notion of sanctity of life and placed a higher priority on “women’s choice” than on the life of an unborn baby.  Also, the teaching of evolution in the public schools, in spite of significant evidence for Godly creation, places worship of creation at a higher level than worship of the Creator.  
          Survey data has shown that even Christians tend to mix their worship of the Creator with worship of His creation.  The Bible is quite explicit in condemning any worship of God’s creation.  We are to worship the Creator only.  How important to us are the material blessings God has given us?  How often do we try to make God’s story of creation compatible with the concepts of evolution? We are called to be a set-apart people who worship God with our whole hearts.  We must continually evaluate our relationship with Him.  We must always be asking, which god we are worshiping?

    I ran for Idaho Senate in the 2014 election.  I lost, but my interest in the issues of Idaho has increased and I will use this blog page to discuss them
