God will not be a means to our end.

God won’t be second
The Primary Idols
Control – everything must fit in my plan, uncertainty threatens me
Approval – acceptance is everything, criticism is devastating
Power – I love influence, disrespect drives me crazy
Comfort – I live for pleasure Anytime I get more it’s more for me
GOD DESPISES IDOLS BECAUSE IDOLS DESPISE US.
Idols make promises THEY cannot keep.
1 Samuel 6:1-8
What am I going to do with God?
