"I think it is safe to say that Sunday morning in America is the greatest hour of idolatry in the entire week, because people are worshipping a God that is a figment of their own imagination, a recreation of self, rather than the God of Scripture, and that is idolatry." --Paul Washer |

Most excellent quote. Thank you! When I first read this quote it shook me to by very foundation. I believe God has been showing me this for a long time. Some how people have decided they can take the parts of God that they like, find easy to emulate or that they agree with and discard an aspects of God they don't like, can't follow or that they disagree with. They take these points and call it their god. That is not the God of creation but rather the god of the created. |

Hi, Edb... I had a professor who, tongue in cheek, called it "smorgasbord theology." What brought this quote from Washer to mind was the following: Sunday, our pastor preached on 1 Samuel 5. It is interesting that in the face of truth, the Philistines wanted nothing to do with God, but persisted in their worship of Dagon. He pointed out that this was the same reaction of the Gadarenes after witnessing our Lord's dealing with the demoniac (see Luke 8:37). On further contemplation Sunday night: We are a people highly skilled and practiced at manufacturing idols, which is bad enough; but perhaps what is worse is the rejection of God in our midst -- as in the examples of Cain, the Egyptians, the Philistines, the Gadarenes, the Israelites, and the unrepentant mentioned there in Revelation 9:20. etc. The most frightening thing of all, Ed, is that we are but men cut from the same cloth. May God grant us mercy and grace to tear down the idols, beginning in our own hearts; and may we never rebuild them again (Galatians 2:18). Thank you for the encouragement and comments, sir. In Him, Doc |
