Calvary Baptist Church - Canyon Texas - David Crump, Pastor

OT people didn’t worship idols for no reason. The reason they worshipped a particular idol was because it was supposed to help or save them. The idol was a physical form representing some spiritual being that had power over some area of the world. There were gods of strength, weather, fertility, etc. Today, we worship what helps us, what saves us. “Every one of us is, even from his mother’s womb, a master craftsman of idols.” – John Calvin Sometimes we look to another person to save us. There is an idea in our culture that if the right man finds the right woman, they will be complete and fulfilled. They will find perfect satisfaction in each other. The man will feel significant in the eyes of his wife. The woman will always feel secure, perfectly protected and provided for by her perfect husband. They will cure each other’s feelings of loneliness and lostness. There is an idea between a man and a woman, “I’ll save you and you’ll save me.” “Fix You” by British group Coldplay.
