The gods we make for
ourselves to worship--
fame, fortune,
excitement, revenge--are no gods.
When we see the signs
that you have done, Lord Jesus,
and we know that you
have come into the world for us,
and we experience the
new life in the Spirit,
then we know the true
God.

Selected Verses
Ps. 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the hills —
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
Jer. 16:20
Can mortals make for themselves gods?
Such are no gods!
Such are no gods!
Rom. 7:6
But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which
held us captive, so that we are slaves not under the old written code but in
the new life of the Spirit.
John 6:14
When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to
say, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.”
