Deuteronomy 7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
Some have bowed on the issue of body art, in all of its various forms. Some have bowed on the issue of gender, as the barrage of different philosophies on the matter have taken deep root in society. Others have bowed to the fashion god, and pay homage or obeisance to whatsoever the fashion gods offload on society.
But others have also bowed to theological idols, by which the truth of God is rejected and other smooth soul-destroying doctrines are embraced, such as the natural immortality of the soul. This is a theological idol to which many have bowed, and over time, has become so deeply entrenched in the belief systems of millions, that it is almost a given.
What the arch enemy of God and man is doing, is to get persons into the habit of bowing down to idols, in little ways, that most would not fret about. When one begins to compromise on any point of truth and duty, the cascading effects can be established quite quickly, and the gravitational pull of fallen nature all but guarantees that the ball will keep on rolling.
Deuteronomy 7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
