Whats Between You And God

1 John 5:18-21 (NLT)
We know that those who have become part of God's family do not make a practice of sinning, for God's Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot get his hands on them. We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the power and control of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we are in God because we are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.
Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts.


An idol is anything that substitutes for the true faith, anything that robs Christ of his full deity and humanity, any human idea that claims to be more authoritative than the Bible, any loyalty that replaces God at the center of our lives.

With so many things that can draw our attention in this world, its not hard to pick out the idols that people have set up in there lives. It could be anything at all, what ever distracts you from God or takes His place in your life.

If the central message of the bible is Christ and Him crucified than that should be our central focus in life, and drawing others to Him.

The world has made it so much easier to get away from God and pour our lives into things that tear us apart from Him. The key is to pray each day, if there is something in your life that is keeping you from all that God has in store for you that He would reveal it to you and then be obedient to remove it.

We should set no thing before Him, or in place of Him. There is a God shaped hole in all of us, and He is the only one who can fill it.



1 Cor. 10:14 (NLT)
So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols.


1 Thes. 1:9 (NLT)
for they themselves keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the true and living God.
