Synopsis

The story of ancient Israel is summarized with extremes in its devotion to the Almighty God. As Israel escaped the horrific bondage of Egypt’s slavery, she sang praises and glorified God after crossing the Red Sea on dry ground. But only days later, she is found singing and dancing to glorify the crudely fashioned golden calf at the foot of Mt. Sinai. Idolatry plagued the nation of Israel. God repeatedly warned Israel not to follow idols, but Israel repeatedly ignored the divine Word and followed after gods it crafted. And the history of God’s chosen nation changed from God-ordained to godless. A nation without reverence and awe for God’s nature and revealed directives becomes a godless nation. A congregation of the Lord’s Church that removes the reverence and awe for God’s nature and revealed directives becomes a godless Church. The congregation’s lampstand will be removed. This study looks at this tragic development even in our modern day. The allure of idolatry is even stronger in our modern times. Modern idolatry does not seek to fashion God from stones and wood but seeks to remake God in OUR image.
