Idols

I hate to say but in the American churches, we have gotten to where we worship the place we are supposed to worship- instead of the One to whom are to worship.  Been there, done that- and of course, like all idols, it brought about a death in me.  Cause idols don't give us life, only Jesus does.   I look at American churches and what we have become and then I look to Nigeria and see all the people slaughtered because they want to really join together and worship God, no matter what.  How many of us would really join together for worship (devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer) if we were threatened with death every time?  But the enemy has found other ways to distract the American churches.
