Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
Joshua 24:14 KJV
~~~~~~~~~~~
There comes a time when you must make a choice
To put away your worship of the world,
And like a young lad’s ever-changing voice
Becomes in speech mature, a man unfurled.
The gods this world promotes are full of need
And calls to you a thousand different ways,
Imploring you to buy their shiny bead,
But once you do you find it’s made of clay.
There is no better time to choose the Lord;
The hourglass is running out of sand.
The Spirit’s nudging you to leave the horde
And give your life to Jesus; take His hand.
Let go the worldly gods that stole your youth
To serve the Lord sincerely and in truth.

I was just in the Prayer for Africa chat box and they were discussing the RC Church …. Romans 1:23 (KJV)
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Let us lay up our treasures in Heaven. Matthew 6:19 (MSG)
“Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it’s safe from moth and rust and burglars. It’s obvious, isn’t it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.
