WORD FOR THE WEEK

WORD FOR THE WEEK

"... the hidden core of idolatry is the worship of self. It is our attempt to reach spiritual heights through self-will and self-reliance. Babel was merely the corporate manifestation of it. We may talk unity, but with pride in our hearts we only succeed in attracting God's judgment and more division. He frustrates our plans and strategies for unity sending us division and confusion of tongues until we learn true brokenness where our boast is in nothing but the cross of Christ. Only then will the church discover God's kind of unity - becoming one, just as the Father and the Son are one (John 17:21)." Excerpt from 'Snakes in the Temple: Unmasking idolatry in today's church.'
