Acts 17:29, "Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."

This morning, nothing has changed since Paul preached this sermon. Arminianism, Calvinism, no-hellism, and all the other heresies that plague us today are not even close to the biggest threat to the church. The church's biggest threat is and has always been idolatry. This worship of the creation more than the Creator goes beyond bowing the knee to an image.  This is doing or putting anything before your Lord and Saviour in your life. Christ commanded His people to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness FIRST.  If this commandment is not met, then we are guilty of idolatry.

It is in man's vain imagination to worship what he sees. He sees images, pictures, "Christian symbols," etc. It is easy to claim that one is a Christian by wearing a cross around their neck, or a bracelet on their wrist, or have a fish on their car. It is much harder to "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16) Except by the eye of faith, we will not see our glorified Saviour this side of heaven and immortal glory.
