IGNORANT WORSHIP

STONE GOD DILEMMA 

Do you use mishaps as opportunities?  

Paul used an opportunity to expose ignorant worship of the people of Thessalonica.  He used their very inscription, "To the Unknown God", to declare God to them

Acts 17: 23-29 (KJV)
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

TODAY'S FOCUS:  OFFSPRING OF GOD

From the above scripture can you,,,,

• Think about opportunities you have to declare The Lord God
• Think of some strategies that you can use to point out "Ignorant Worship"

Reflecting on the last two verses of the above scripture....

1. How would you describe the word Offspring?
2. How are you an offspring of God? 
3. Is there a stone God dilemma in any other form in your life?

Remember, God is the Artist and you are His work of art and masterpiece.  You are His offspring.  Therefore you cannot think that God is crafted by man in anyway.  Anything that's made by man and worshiped is considered to be "Ignorant Worship". He can be found if you seek Him.

God Bless and Keep the Faith!
