68
Q

Idolatry

A

Idolatry is constant sin and self worship, It is treason to God because we turn away from His commandments (the 1st three in the Decalogue) and do what we want to do. We take His name and place it on other things like music, grades, and sports. Israel did this with Baal. They took God’s name and placed it on a “carved image”. God forbids this in Exodus 20:7. When translating the Bible, certain scribes used to throw away every quill with which they wrote “Yahweh”. They revered God’s name because of its importance. When we idolize other things, our lives are empty (Isaiah 44).

69
Q

Tozer: The most important thing about us is what we think about God.

A

Tozer means that what we believe, we will do. For example, if we believe God is love, we will love Him and others. Likewise, if we believe God is hate, we will express hate. If we don’t know God, we don’t know anything (Proverbs 9:10) because He holds everything together. In the same way, we cannot be happy without God or without the right image of God, for He is the only God and is sovereign above all (Isaiah 45:5-7). Therefore, it is imperative we have the correct view of God.
