How many of the 10 Commandments do you know? Can you honestly say, without grabbing your Bible, that you know them all? Just in case, here they are :)
1. You shall have no other gods before me (not meaning one right after the other, but having only one god, no other god in God's presence).
2. You shall not worship idols.
3. You shall not use the Lords name in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
5. Honor your mother and your father.
6. You shall not commit murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not lie/give false testimony.
10. You shall not covet your neighbors house, wife, or possessions.
Ok so now that that is out of the way, look real close at #2. Idols..... What does that make you think of?
An idol is anything you put as the main focus of your life ahead of God. It doesn't have to be a statue that you bow to. It can be anything. During the sermon this morning, I got to thinking, am I worshipping an idol and putting God 2nd? That sent fear through my entire being. I sat down and really thought about it and you know what, I have to say, I don't put enough focus on God sometimes. I'm going to be honest with everyone. I am not perfect, no one is. But I now have a greater perspective into what I am doing to myself.
Here is my challenge to you;
1. What is the most important thing in your life? Honestly.
2. Do you care more about this item or concept than you do about God?
3. Put your life back into perspective and PUT GOD BACK ON THE THRONE OF YOUR LIFE!
I'm not trying to stir anything up, but we all need the wake up call now and then. I know I did. D this activity with your whole family. Let's get our lives back in balance! Please contact me if you need counsel, prayers, or just an ear to talk to.
God Bless and Keep Smilin'
