The Face of Addiction

A couple Sunday's ago, our pastor Keith was talking about worship. He made the point that when you worship other things besides God, you can actually become like what you worship. And if what you worship isn't God, then you are going to become a cheap imitation of what you were truly destined to be.

There are lot's of things people worship...celebrities, money, stuff, cars, our families, and even addictions. Anything that takes first place in our lives.

On a humorous note, I have been seeing this played out in our home this week. One of our boys has a serious addiction, and I just happened to catch him in the act this morning. So here it is, an addiction documented:

Psalm 115:1-8 1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. 2 Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?" 3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. 4 But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. 5 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; 6 they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell; 7 they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats. 8 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
