    Get Yourself A Real God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 16, 2012
     | 8,017 views

    Idolatry has been the threat to the people of God from earliest days. God calls us to destroy the idols of the heart and worship Him, the True and Living God.

    “Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.” [1] Churches in the western world are pathetic caricatures of the once ...read more

    To try and comprehend the majesty and power of the Sovereign LORD God Almighty is like trying to place the entirety of the oceans inside a thimble.
