Acts 17:16-34

There are many idols all around us and they aren't necessarily the Buddha's and such that people blatantly worship. An idol in our lives, whether it be other people to our technology, are distinguished as such by what we put before God. This is seen by how much time we spend with God compared to how much time we a lot to the things of this world, even in our own thoughts.

We are God's offspring, separated by sin and because of our sin, the Lord sent Jesus, His son to renew our broken relationship. We are on this earth in order to seek the Lord and ultimately, to glorify Him.

Romans 3:25
