IDOL: Past & Present: all the same

It used to be that an Idol was something we bowed down to worship...you know the drill...with one half of a log we carve something to bow to, make our requests known, worship...and with the other half we make a fire to roast wieners...

Now we want to be the IDOL...rockstardom....have people worship us as if we were more than wiener wood...

The root of both seems to be that we have a "place"...that we know our position...that we are affirmed in our existence...

Perhaps the most dangerous IDOL s the one closest to "looking like" the only worship-worthy being of the universe...the Creator God. Its dangerous to be "having a form of God..."

What is the point of "religion" if it does not serve to bring us into relationship with our Creator God? It may give us a feeling of belonging, an affirmation of position...an innoculation...

"...seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart..."

There is no room for substitutes...no half-truths, no innoculations...no wiener wood.
