Whether we realize it or not, every person on earth is a worshipper. Worship is not limited to Sunday mornings or religious gatherings. It is built into the fabric of our humanity. God created us to adore, to honour, to give our hearts to something greater than ourselves. The question is not if we worship, but what or whom we worship. Some lift their eyes to the living God who made heaven and earth. Others bow down to idols of wealth, power, success, pleasure, and ultimately self. This is why idolatry is so dangerous. It is not a harmless habit or an outdated religious practice from ancient times. Scripture warns that idols are empty, yet they hold powerful sway because they claim our trust, shape our desires, and demand our devotion. Even worse, both true worship and false worship transform us. Psalm 115:8 warns that those who make idols will become like them, and so will all who trust in them. By contrast, those who worship the Lord grow in His likeness. Everyone worships. The critical question is: Are we being shaped into the image of lifeless idols, or into the likeness of the living God revealed in Jesus Christ?
