From Judges
In Judges chapter 2 we read of Israel’s unfaithfulness, repeatedly forsaking the God of their fathers and bowing down to the gods of the people around them. But when we read of people bowing down and worshipping pagan gods, we sometimes fail to observe that it isn’t just a mindless act of falling to ones knees in front of a pagan god alone that is so alarming. Every worship of a pagan god involved the accompanying rituals. Often these rituals involved revolting sexual perversions, twisted moral dispositions and even human sacrifices.
Not much has changed today. We have our gods of lust and greed to mention a couple. We still make our human sacrifices while we go about our day distracted by TV, radio, a toothache. If every Christian spent one more hour a day in prayer abortion would slow to a hault. If every Catholic worthily received communion just once a week they would change the world momentously. What gods are we worshipping that consume the other part of us that should too be living the Christian life.
