CALVARY CHURCH WEEKLY NEWS |

Last Sunday, I preached on “A Nation Forsakes God.” From the book of Jeremiah, we learned that the people of Judah at the time of Jeremiah forsook the Lord and worshipped false idols. We need to be reminded of the first commandment: “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Judah turned from the living God and worshiped false gods.
What about us? Anyone or anything more important in your life than our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, is an idol. Millions worship the idol of sport. Well-meaning Christians neglect corporate worship on the Lord’s Day by putting family events, traveling sports teams, etc., in first place. Many appear to place their hope for the future in a particular political party or a socio-economic structure. These idols so easily push to the forefront of our lives. Over time we then adopt a cultural Christianity, which has disastrous consequences for our families, churches, and nation. So let’s keep our eyes on Jesus!
Spend some time this week reflecting on any idols in your life. As the apostle John writes, “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols” (1 John 5:20–21).
