Introduction

Man is basically religious

Men invent gods and those gods will lead men into idolatry & Immorality

Today, Idolatry may look like:

Worship the god of possessions

Worshiping the god of plenty.

Worshiping the god of Pride.

Worshiping the people as gods.

Worshiping the god of entertainment and pleasure.

The Ceremony (vs. 1-3)

What is Nebuchadnezzar doing?

He wants to unify his nation

He wants loyalty

Everybody falls in two categories:  

1. You either worship God or false gods. 

The Command (vs. 4-5)

He had the royal orchestra there

He’s got the whole nation gathered together

The Consequence (vs. 6-7

Most people respond to external pressures. 

2. You do whatever you need to do to get whatever you need to get

Compromising internal principle based on external pressure
