b'Idol worship in America 2 Psalm 106:38-39 #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NormanKissinger #NK \\n Idol worship in America 2 Psalm 106:38-39\\n\\nPs 106:38-39\\n\\nAnd shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.\\n\\nIdol worship was a constant struggle for the people of Israel, as we see in Psalm 106. They were continually drawn away to worship the idols of the pagan nations around them - the Ashtoreths, Baals, and Molechs. These idols often demanded horrible sacrifices, even the lives of their own children.\\n\\nThis same temptation exists for us today. Anything we value more than God - money, sex, power, comfort - can become an idol that ensnares us. Our culture is overrun with idols. Sexual immorality is everywhere, from movies and ads to the normalization of adultery and premarital sex. The "abortion industry" offers child sacrifice to the idols of convenience and freedom.\\n\\nLike Israel, our idol worship has polluted our land with blood and defiled us. God\'s judgment awaits nations who forsake Him. Yet there is hope! Israel repeatedly fell into idol worship, but in His mercy, God delivered them when they repented. The prophets warned Israel to turn from idols. We too must heed their warning.\\n\\nAs followers of Christ, we must examine our hearts. Do we value anything above God? Career success, popularity, relationships, wealth, pleasure - these can all become idols if not kept in check. Let us repent of the idols in our hearts and in our culture. Pray for revival in our churches and spiritual awakening in our nation. God is patient and longs to forgive and restore us, if we turn from our idols and return to Him.\\n\\nIn the end, idol worship destroys those who practice it. Idols promise life but deliver death. Only the one true and living God can satisfy our deepest needs. As Augustine said, "Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee." Let us find our rest, joy, and meaning in God alone. He created us to know and worship Him. May we cast off the shackles of idol worship and live in the freedom of serving Christ.\\n\\nOur Podcast, Blog and YouTube Links\\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros\\n \\nBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.\\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros'
