Psalm, Chapter 115Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.115 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your [a]truth.-        The title of this message sets the table for a compassiono   Its like comparing two mealso   If you eat one you will experience consternation and stomach paino   If you eat the other one you will experience health, joy and happiness-        Heathen Idolso   These are false godso   Anything that is worshiped other than Jesus Christ is a heathen idolo   Anything you think about more than Jesus Christ is also an idol§  Some people worship their car and clean it with a diaper§  Some people worship their money or power or position§  Some people worship the creation rather than the creator·       Physical attributes of body or the mountains, beach or sunsets, etc§  Some actually work the sun god or the moon god, or the of fertility, etc-        Contrasted with the Lordo   The contrast is start and worth notingo   He is not a thingo   He is not a creationo   He was before creation and into eternityo   He is THE CREATORo   THE ONE TRUE GOD (CAPITAL G)-        Not to us, O Lord, not to uso   The phrase “not to use” is spoken twiceo   This is for emphasiso   In other words, this is not for us (no way)-        But to Your name give gloryo   The most important thing to give glory too is “His name”o   The name of Jesus Christ our Lord-        Because of Your lovingkindnesso   God is loving and kindo   That is the heart of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost-        Because of Your trutho   This is the Word of God (the sole source of real truth)o   And the truth is “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son so that whomsoever believes on the name of Jesus Christ will be saved”o   Faith in the name of Jesus Christ is the only way to get to into heaven§  That’s the trutho   And it’s only because God so loved the world (that includes you and I) that He gave His Son to die on a cross to pay for our sin out of His love! 2 Why should the nations say, “Where, now, is their God?”-        This is a rhetorical question-        The nations should not say “where is their God”-        Because the nations should see their God in action in their lives-        People worshiping false gods seem to take please in watch God’s children suffer or go through trials and then they point their finger and mock Godo   In other words, God please remember your covenant to save and bless your people and take care of business so these heathens get schooled and humbledIntro to Outbless Weekly Thanks for listening to Outbless.com
