b'The Empty Promise of Idols PS 115:5-8 #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #normankissinger\\n\\nThe Empty Promise of Idols PS 115:5-8\\nidol worship affecting ministry and life, starting with Psalm 115:4-8 (KJV):\\n"Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men\'s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them." - Psalm 115:4-8\\nIdolatry was a constant struggle for God\'s people throughout the Old Testament. The idols of the surrounding nations were tempting, yet powerless and worthless before the true and living God. As we enter 2024, idol worship remains a subtle threat to our faith and ministry. Though we do not bow to golden statues as in ancient times, we are prone to prioritizing money, pleasure, and worldly success over wholehearted devotion to Christ.\\nAs Psalm 115 warns, those who trust in idols become like them - empty, deaf, dumb, and dead to the things of God. Let us examine our hearts and lives in this new year. Are we seeking first God\'s kingdom or pursuing temporal idols? Is anything clouding our vision of Christ\'s supremacy? Do distractions and divided loyalties hamper our ministry?\\nThe idols of our culture call us to walk in their ways, but we follow a risen Savior. By God\'s strength, may we yield no ground to idol worship in 2024. As we fix our eyes on Jesus, He will captivate our hearts and empower our service for His glory.\\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'
