Are you God-centered ?

The first of the Ten Commandments is "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." In this commandment the true God forbids the worship of false gods. More than likely you have broken this commandment many times over. It matters not if you are a Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Pentecostal, or Greek Orthodox, the god of contemporary Christianity is not the God of the Bible. Jesus said "thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him only shalt thou serve."(Matt. 4:10) Your worship of God may be no more than the idolatry of paganism. The God of the Bible on the other hand is the sovereign God who governs all his creatures and all their actions (Psalm 103:19; 22:18) by an eternal decree, according to the counsel of His will, whereby for His own glory He has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass." This is the God of the Bible, the Maker and Supreme ruler of heaven and earth. And yet this is not the God who is proclaimed in most evangelical pulpits accross the land. How else will men know "that He, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth,"(Psalm 83:18) if we do not "declare  all the counsel of God."(Acts 20:27) Look at the false god of contemporary Christianity he is a depotentiated, effeminate, deity who commands the respect of no one. His power to save is limited by man's supposed free will, and his wisdom to govern is regulated by sinful man's sense of justice. Is this the God of whom  it is said "Whatsoever the LORD plesed, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places."(Psalm 135:6) There is no plase where God's rule does not extend to, because His center is everywhere and His circumference is in no place. "Wherefore should the heathen say, 'Where is now their God'? But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hat pleased."(Psalm 115:2-3) We should be glad that God is God, because our chief end in life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
