In Our Own Image
By Greg Laurie
“Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.”
—Romans 1:21
There is something wrong in our lives when we need an image or an icon to worship God. We must understand that God forbids this (see Exodus 20:3–5). He doesn’t want us to relate to Him that way.
We must also understand that sometimes people can become idols in our lives. Maybe someone was instrumental in bringing us to Christ or we have great admiration for a certain pastor or leader. But is that person becoming an idol? Are they taking the place of God in our lives?
