What is idolatry ?

But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my heavenly Father. Matthew 10:33

What is idolatry ? Idolatry is everything that stands between us and God. Joshua told his people that their nation would be destroyed if they persisted in idolatry and that their souls would suffer eternal death. He said : "You must make your decision today, you must decide whether you want to serve the idols of this life or the living God." "Choose you today," said Joshua, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." And you ? Do you take a stand with Joshua ? Whatever the price is ? I ask you to choose what day you will serve. Our families can not choose Christ for us. Our friends can not do it. God is a great God, but even God can not make the decision for us. He can help, but we alone can decide. We must make our own choice.

Prayer for the day

Lord Jesus Christ, take away the idols of my life so that, totally undivided, I can serve you, my Savior.

Billy Graham
