In college one of my professors Mark Moore made a statement that I remembered. He asked our class how far we were willing to go to get rid of sin on our life. He used the illustration of how when guys had come to him regarding a porn addiction he asked if they would grant him complete control. If they agreed he explained: "Alright, the next time it's an issue I will take your computer and beat it with a baseball bat. You don't think I will? Try me!"
Wow - seriously! Yes - I think he was serious. Today I read about an illustration that seemed just as extreme. Jehu goes into the Baal temple, kills all the priests, and smashed the sacred pillar to make it into a public toilet. Wow - seriously!
What do we worship in our lives? Our we willing to go to extreme measures to get rid of it? Smashing computer screens, ceasing friendships, quitting jobs or hobbies? All of these are minuscule in regards to the joy the Father has when we worship him purely.
