We also think of elaborate altars where bloodthirsty gods require sacrifice and worship—the currency to appease and control them. We may think that through our cultural advancements we’ve moved past our forefathers, but we couldn’t be further from the truth. Though the gods we make may not appear as towering figures of gold and silver, they still tower in our hearts evidenced by the sacrifices we make. How many children have been sacrificed by workaholic parents on the altar of success? How many relationships have been sacrificed on the altar of pleasure? How many sleepless nights and money has been sacrificed on the altar of beauty? How many friendships have been sacrificed on the altar of control? The gods we make may not live in temples erected in our cities, but they do live in the temples of our hearts. Journey with us as we face our hearts towards the God who truly is and who not only loves us back but loves us better and loved us first.
