Can you decide what to do with God?

Introduction

Man is generally religious

Man, inevitably bows at some shrine.

Romans 1:18-23

The Old Testament tells us much about man’s religious nature.

Romans 1 charts the course for us.

When you abandon God, and you turn your back,
then you invent your own gods because man is religious, and in inventing his own gods
he makes gods like himself, he becomes more like them, and
damns his own soul in the process.Flee
When it comes to idolatry you are to do three things.

I Corinthians 10:14

Avoid

I Corinthians 10:10-20

Stay away

I John 5:21

20^TH Century Idols:

God of possessions

God of plenty – Love of money

Pride

People

Pleasures and entertainment

It is wrong to worship God through the wrong method
