Our gods are the things we depend on for life. We always serve the thing we feel will support and sustain us through this life. And when your god is something physical—money, beauty, health, family—it's fleeting. As Pastor Bill said, anything on this earth can be taken away from us. And if our hope rests on those physical things we are left with nothing. But! If our hope rests in the king of kings, nothing can take him away from us. And when everything else is stripped away, we still have true life.
