Oh, what a beautiful day to say thank you for stopping by! Happy
Thanksgiving! I truly am thankful there is you to share coffee hour
with! Let’s get back to this discussion of adultery and idolatry, which
we are about to wrap up so we can finally meet this adulterous woman!
So that last definition we talked about, immorality, aka, sins of the
flesh, are associated and are traced to lack of the acknowledgment of
God” is a real eye opener, and something that begs the benefit of the
doubt before we meet this adulterous woman. Could it be she had never
come face to face with her need for a savior? Until this meeting.
Let’s look at the last definition for idolatry. Oh, my, this one will
tickle your skin all over for sure: An idolater is a slave to the
depraved (morally corrupt) ideas his/her idol or idols represent!”
So metaphorically speaking, then, any form of addiction is adultery
because that something which one is addicted to has become an idol and
therefore has led the adulterer away to idolatry. Wow, you can put
anything in that underlined space to make the connection between you and
the adulterous woman! I don’t know about you, but suddenly as I get
ready to meet her, I am off of my pedestal and standing eye level,
waiting to greet her as Jesus did!
Humbly,
Evinda
