ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES "You shall not make any idols... you must never bow to an image or worship it in any way.” Exodus 20:4-5 (LB) 2 Principles

Principle One: DON'T `IDOLIZE' ANYTHING! "For your own good... don't sin by making an idol in any form at all." Deuteronomy. 4:15-16

Why ? 1. Idols will disappoint you. "...those who make idols are disillusioned because the gods they make are false and lifeless." Jeremiah 10:14 (GN) "What's the use of an idol? It's only something a man has made. What good does it do... to trust it? Habakkuk 2:18 (GN)

2. Idols will dominate you. "... (before you knew Christ) you were controlled by dead idols, who always led you astray." I Corinthians. 12:2 (GN)

3. Idols will deform you. "Those who make idols will become like them, and so will those who trust in them." Ps. 115:8 (GN) "They worshiped worthless things and became worthless themselves." Jer. 2:5 (GN)

Principle Two: WORSHIP ONLY GOD! "Worship" -- to give my highest love and devotion "(Many) exchange the truth about God for a lie; they worship and serve what God has created instead of the Creator himself!" Rom. 1:25 (GN)

The Benefits of Worshiping Only God 1. It will Delight me - FULFILLMENT Jesus said, "If you obey my teaching... you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32 "If the Son sets you free, you will be really free." John 8:36and you will honor Me." Psalm 50:15

2. It will deliver me – FREEDOM "Seek your happiness in the Lord and He will give you your heart's desire. Ps. 37:4 (GN) "Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed." Rom. 10:11 (GN)

3. It will develop me - FAITH "As the Spirit of the Lord works with us, we become more and more like Him." 2 Cor. 3:18b (LB) "We arrive at maturity -- that measure of development which is meant by `the fullness of Christ.'" Eph 4:13-15 (Ph)

So in building this family, a strong family that's going to last, building a strong personal life, you've got to settle these first two issues. One, put God first in every area of your life. Two, take no substitutes and get to know the real image of God by getting to know Jesus Christ.
