1 Kings 13

Do we listen to the warnings?  Jeroboam didn't.  We will see what consequences will fall on him and those who follow him and his false gods.  Even the man who prophesied against the altar did listen and stick to God's warnings.  He attempted to, but he believed a false report of the LORD's word from a prophet and he did what the LORD had told him not to do.  He believed the prophet who lied and he died.  

Nothing will happen.  Don't worry about it.  Everyone does it.  Because, just about everyone you know worships false gods, does not make it right.  It does not make it good for you.  There is only one God.  Worship Him and Him only!  Don't be listening to friends that will advise you that God hasn't directed something that He has.  Don't be listening to friends that will advise you that there are no consequences for worshipping other gods.  If you purposely turn to other gods, you purposely turn away from the one true God who is the way and the truth and the life!

It is very sad indeed to consider how many "Christians" I know and to also know who their gods really are.  It is too much to think about for very long periods of time.  Just a very sad thing!
