It is easy to see that you
and I have been created to worship. We’re flat-out desperate for it. From
sports fanaticism to celebrity tabloids to all the other strange sorts of
voyeurisms now normative in our culture, we evidence that we were created to
look at something beyond ourselves and marvel at it, desire it, like it with
zeal, and love it with affection. Our thoughts, our desires, and our behaviors
are always oriented around something, which means we are always worshiping --
ascribing worth to -- something. If it’s not God, we are engaging in idolatry.
But either way, there is no way to turn the worship switch in our hearts
off.
