No Other Gods - Video

Who is your God? Or should we say “What” is your God? Simply put, your God is whatever is most important to you, where you turn for comfort in distress, and where you turn to receive all good things. Where have I placed my highest allegiance? Not just what I might claim with my words, but that which is revealed in my decisions, my allocation of time, and the inclinations of my heart.

Today we consider the Lord’s giving on the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai. But it has been said that breaking any of the commandments involves breaking the first, and that if only we could keep the first perfectly, the rest would be superfluous. So we focus today on the first commandment, “You shall have no other Gods.” What does that mean for our lives today?
