Worshipping God is a preventative

Step 2 of “Worship no other” is from Isaiah 44:16-20. “Read the Word for guidance, not just to introduce a subject” (Pastor Tom Elliff). So why worship only the Lord? Doing so prevents spiritual blindness, spiritual foolishness, and spiritual ineptness.

Take some current magazines and have members look for pictures that show what people worship today. [Look for examples of worship of self, fame, wealth, prestige, designer labels, success, materialism, or tolerance.] Define spiritual blindness and discuss ways false ‘gods’ blind people into spiritual foolishness and ineptness. Slides 24 thru 29 offer pictorial helps.

Bottom line: we learn the character of the Lord God by worshipping Him only and He calls us out of darkness and opens our eyes.
