Idle Idols

14/7/12

S: Isaiah 44:6-20

O: We Chinese-Malaysian Christians are sometimes still very Chinese-Malaysian in our beliefs and not Christian enough. Many of us Chinese-Malaysian Christians hold very superstitious views about idols. Many of us fear the idols we see around us and think that somehow they might "contaminate" us with negative spirituality.

However, this, and many other other passages in the Bible make it clear that idols are merely wood, gold, etc. and they do not do anything -- idols are idle!

Yes, it is true that there are demons, but the Bible makes it clear in passage after passage that idols themselves are only bad because people worship them instead of the LORD God.

A: Do not fear idols. Worship only the LORD God. Fear the LORD God and walk in confidence in Christ.

P: Father, thank You that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world! In Jesus' name, amen.
