So I’ve joined this men’s Bible study and so far it’s been pretty good. We are currently reading through the book of Jeremiah. Last night we were talking through chapters 9-11. Now if you’ve ever read Jeremiah, you know you really have to dig to find something to talk about in those first chapters. Seemingly there’s not much there. However, as we started to dig, we saw a people who were creating their own idols to worship. We then noticed that God was doing his best to use Jeremiah to tell the people of Israel that their God was the one that created all the things they were using to create their own idols (Jeremiah 10).

We opened up an interesting conversation about if the people that were creating things didn’t feel like they were doing anything wrong because they were creating art. In today’s world so many things are thrown under the umbrella of art and therefore we must just have to ‘accept’ it as that. Interesting question I thought. So I thought I would pose this question to you, the readers of this blog. God has given us himself and it is our job to worship Him and give Him thanks for everything that He has done for us. That doesn’t leave us much time to create other things to worship. We have been given gifts that we can use to worship Him like music, art, writing and other things. But it was never His goal for us to then worship the things that we create. That’s my take. What’s yours?
