645 on Sunday was a great night. It was great to get a fresh perspective on idolatry. It was great to have our eyes opened to the sin and idolatry in our city.
I was on a bus on Saturday and overheard a conversation about someone’s OS travels.
‘London was awesome, so fun. I was drunk the whole time – but that’s a prerequisite’.
It was also Buddha’s birthday. How ironic it was to see hundreds of people crowded around these idols and seeing them as a tourist attraction. You could, for a donation, get your photo taken so it looked like you were Buddha! It was a celebration of idolatry.
Our city is full of idols: the obvious like Buddha, and the more subtle…
But I feel like I need to turn my eyes inward. Did you notice all the items on the stage Sunday night? Car, house, clothes, magazines, DVDs, computers… It made me think of how my life is crowded full with potential idols.
It’s not just our city that worships idols. It’s me. I need to come before God and repent of the utter stupidity it is to place anything in front of him –my diary, my wallet, myself…
