“The
opposite of theism is not atheism, it’s idolatry.” In other
words, everyone is going to worship something. We were created to be
worshippers, as birds were created to fly and rivers were created to
flow. It’s what we do. The question then, is who or what will be
the object of your worship? Here are a few questions that might
objectively reveal your god:
What
is the area of your life where you are most disappointed? An area
where there is a disproportionate amount of disappointment reveals
where we have put our hope. Show me what you have put your hope in
and I’ll introduce you to your god.
Where
do you go for comfort when life gets hard? Maybe you open up the
fridge for a little comfort food or you stop by and pick up a
six-pack on the way home from work. Maybe it’s in the arms of a
stranger.
Where
do you make financial sacrifices? Where your money goes shows what
god you are worshipping. The Bible puts it this way “where your
treasure is there your heart will be.”
Peter
