What’s the big deal?

I know it seems extreme to us, but I think the judgment of the Moabites in Numbers 24:1-5 gives an insight as to how God views our “idolatry.” We tend to think, “I wouldn’t bow down or make an idol to worship,” but we often commit this same kind of immorality when we “marry” the culture around us. Our Western culture worships a kind of affluence and materialism that often takes the place God that deserves.

We can spend an inordinate amount of time, energy and resources chasing after these cultural idols… we often don’t think twice about it. God does.
