Idols . . . Simply a replacement for the One True God, Creator, Lord, Master and Judge. Whether it is our family, job, career, financial worth, sports, cars, houses or a statue . . . no idol can compare to God! People worship all kinds of things today and don't even realize it. Many however, worship a false, phony, or dead "god"!Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription . . . .THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: . . . . And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.” So Paul departed from among them. However, some men joined him and believed . . . . . (Acts 17:22-23, 32-34)
They put their trust in empty promises and ancient fables. They even dedicate their lives to evil deeds and subject their families to dangerous situations, all for a false hope and unfulfilled promises. The God they do not know or refuse to accept, The Unknown God, has fulfilled all His promises as documented throughout HIStory!
Some will believe, some will not, but it won't stop me from sharing as Paul once did! What about you?
