And "our place" often is off the mark, ie we sin. But this sin is not merely moral failing. It is idolatry...worshiping anything in place of the One worthy of worship. <BR/><BR/>Luther said we never break the other 10 commandments without breaking the first two. It follows then that our over-working, our lying, our stealing, our dishonoring, our coveting, our lusting, our______ is grounded in our trusting in some substitute god, a functional savior instead of the One True and Living God.<BR/><BR/>When we let Scripture speak its anti-idolatry message, we can boldly proclaim the gospel to both Christians and non-Christians alike.Josh O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14124016033204476005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10405872.post-69120278825476095572007-07-05T09:08:00.000-04:002007-07-05T09:08:00.000-04:00JD,You'll definitely enjoy the book.
