A preview with Bible links
Next in the message series: Idolatry, the Book of Jeremiah and the growing popularity of idolatrous indigenous practices and ceremonies.
Many young people today, in their quest to fulfill their spiritual hunger, are turning to indigenous practices that in some cases can lead to idolatry and even bring them into contact with demonic spirits.
(The same is true of those who dabble in the occult.) Sounds scary; well, it is. Just ask others who have been there.
There are reasons why the Lord strictly forbids and hates idolatry - because it is so harmful to people and offensive to the Creator who made us in His image.
Yet, we are to help - when we can - those who are caught up in such activities; at times figuratively snatching them out of the flames... Those who heed God's Word will be set free.
Jude 22-23
"22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction; 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh."
Jude 22-23 (NKJV)
Book of Jeremiah
The Bible contains many references to idolatry and idolatrous practices. For now, for those who want to study this topic in-depth, I recommend reading the Book of Jeremiah in its entirety ahead of our next Bible message.
