2023_01_29 Gods at War: Week 1

Every day they battle for our attention, our time, our resources, our families. Some are easily recognized, others are more subtle as we allow them into our lives. They feed off our true desires, our hunger and wants. We think they bring fulfillment and purpose, but before long they take control, grip us tightly, and convince us that they belong. We find ourselves at war with these gods…surrendering ourselves to the idols of food, sex, money, success, entertainment, comfort, technology, and so much more. As we engage these gods at war, we will learn to recognize the seats of honor we have given the false gods in our lives. This recognition will create the opportunity to turn our hearts back to the one God who loves us unconditionally, to the one who gives us freedom, to the only one that deserves our hearts.

Philosopher Peter Kreft explains: “The opposite of theism is not atheism, it’s idolatry.”
God will not share the hearts of His people with false gods.
