tricked again

Last night I visited a place of “satanic worship” … oh if you asked any of those attending if they were actually worshiping the devil, they would have said loudly and boldly “NO”.

I spent over an hour at a Hindu temple here in Chicagoland.
… and here is my impression. The Hindu faith claims to worship one supreme God … but their worship service, printed materials, statues, and rituals all say just the opposite.
There are many levels of spirits and dieties, that are acknowledged as “sacred” and deserve worship.

I left that temple feeling sick to my stomach. These people have all been tricked by satan … and are on a highway straight to hell because they worship idols. In my view of bibilical teaching, any religion that does not have Jesus as the core of it’s faith is from the devil.

Suddenly, on my way home in the truck it hit me … what in my life is placed in front of Jesus ? My job … my money … things … sports ? Old Testament scripture tells us repeatedly about the sin of worshiping idols … but listen to John’s simple words in 1 John 5:20 …
“Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.”
