"...so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."1Tim.3:15
Today our pastor reminded us that we become like the God that we worship. Or else we become like the gods that we worship. Your God is the one to whom you dedicate the best of your time, your talent, and your money.
I also was reminded how those people who worship false gods and idols hate God.
"You shall not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me." Exod. 20:4-5
Finally I was reminded of the scripture in Psalm 9: 20 that says "put them in fear, o Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but men."
Sometimes I wonder if we ought to pray for the leaders of our Fellowship, that the Lord would remind them that they are but men too.
See, after all these years, I still get something by being in church and hearing sermons.
