“Because My people have forgotten Me,
They have burned incense to worthless idols.
And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways,
From the ancient paths,
To walk in pathways and not on a highway,
To make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.”
Jeremiah 18:15-16
I realized one day while reading in Jeremiah that in the United States of America, we are a people who are in danger of forgetting God, that as a people, we have burned incense to worthless idols. Aren’t we a country where the creature is worshiped instead of the Creator? (Romans 1:20-23. I was at the Denver Museum of Natural History with my family some years back, and there was a traveling display there at that time of an artist’s paintings having to do with fossils of all kinds. But one painting struck me in particular: it was of a fish fossil, and underneath it were hands raised in adoration, and the caption was: Fish Worship. I am not making this up. I realized then that evolution is a religion, the anti-God religion of death, and an enemy of the everlasting gospel.)
As a people, we have removed every trace of God from our society and public life, and in so doing, have caused ourselves to stumble in our ways, to leave the ancient paths laid out for us by God. Our family is trying to rediscover God’s ways, and to honor the ancient paths, the highway, laid out for us by God. Won’t you join us?
