Throughout all the reading that we
have done thus far we have continually read; “the Bible is to be the rule for
how we worship the Lord”. This is a statement that I have always agreed with
this statement; I mean it makes sense because otherwise I will be chasing the
wind in worship. But where it hit home is the contrast of “worlds” that are battling
here… Calvin said that our hearts are idol factories, yet we are called to use
the standard that is set in the Word of God. And here is the dilemma… “There is
two ways to commit idolatry worshiping something other than God or worshiping
God in the wrong way (pg. 33 GPTG). That is why my heart is so dangerous. So,
as I move through school (and a question to all of us); what am I creating as an innovation and a new cool thing and in reality
it is a simple idol? The ramification for making an error was not well for
Aaron’s sons and will not be for us either. So I pray that me as a humble servant will be laid bare before my almighty Creator and let Him destroy my idols
so I may worship Him in spirit and in truth.
The Question: What idols are we
creating that we are coloring as true ways to worship?
