Worship or idolatry?
“What the heart loves, the will chooses, and the mind justifies” – Thomas Cranmer This simple statement, if we consider it, will either lead us to greater worship of the Lord and obedience to his Word or it will make us aware of our idolatry and leave us without excuse. In the first option, we will see our propensity for loving things other than God and be repentant. After which we will refocus our love on the Lord and receive…
