Mon // Surrender :: Idols

Title: First Commandment


Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8


I consider myself a true American and have often shown positive interest and respect for our founding fathers. In today’s crazed world, we need Faith and God more than ever. What is God thinking of America? Next are a couple of known facts. First, our forefathers recognized the importance of religious freedom, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It guarantees that the government will neither prefer religion over non-religion nor favor particular faiths over others. Now let me refer to another book most men are familiar with, the bible and the first commandments. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make yourself an idol, and you shall not worship them. The debate over our founding fathers has me thinking.


Real men  Only worship God
