“We become like what we worship. We conform our lives to what we believe will please our God, whether that is the living God of Jesus Christ or the god of commerce, the god of power, the god of pleasure, and the rest of society’s pantheon.
Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world’s golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, “Christian, love me more!”
