OPEN FOR WORSHIP: The Groves!

2 Kings 23:4-6 King James Version (KJV)

4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.

5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

6 And he brought out the grove from the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.

Lessons Taught by False Worshipers

When they saw the handsome singer

They raised their hands in praise

They bowed their heads in worship

Their eyes spilled copious tears!

Some fell over in convulsions

Some fainted dead away

We watched the recording in shock and horror

For it seemed that their god had appeared!

Shouts of love and adoration

Those personally touched were in ecstacy

And all around you could hear voices in the throng saying:

"Amazing! He looked directly at Me!!"

The Minister of The Gospel

The Preacher of The Holy Word

Charismatic

Voice Melifluous

Praise for him

On voices was heard:

"Oh, I do so love him!

"Isn't he amazing!?"

"This is like heaven!"

"I could listen to him every day!"

"Oh, to be near him thrills my heart no end!"

"Being in his presence makes me feel heavenly!"

"This day could not be more perfect!"

"I wish we could keep him for ever and a day!"

These unholy displays of affection

While wildly disturbing

Unexpectedly opened up my eyes

They caused me to think

Of Almighty God whom I worship

And made me wonder about my praise and worship bona fides!

I know for sure I don't run around in a frenzy at thoughts of Him

I don't hyperventilate when I pray

I don't sweat and cry when He speaks to my spirit

And I know that when He finally appears

There's not going to be anyone fainting dead away!

These Idol Worshipers' Worship is Committed!

My Holy God Worship is at times Ho Hum!

But their Forbidden Worship Gives me Insight into Evil

And how The Devil's Thread of Sin is made of Homespun!

Forbidden Worship shows Commitment and Devotion

Heart-felt Hard-core Positivity

They will not be swayed from their chosen pathway

For they serve their god completely unreservedly!

We may take a page from Wrong Worship (Lord Jesus have Mercy!)

Of course not the excesses that we often see 

But the fact that their faith cannot be shaken

And for them their homage is right and holy!

"All In" is their Singular Motto

They'll "Take a bullet!" for what they believe

They can, and do, defend the words of their master

And their faith you cannot make them suspend, or cede!

We worship The Holy God so let's take that Holy Worship and 

By The Indwelling Holy Spirit kick it up a grand notch

Let's Really Know and Speak of  Our God Intimately and

Let's Not The Declared Mission of Spreading Hope botch!

Let Us Stand Up 

and 

Be Counted 

as

We Righteously Show Our Devotion 

to 

The True and Living God!

*******

Let Us Do What is Good 

and 

Right!

*******

Let Us Stand Our Ground

and 

Be Brave in The Fight

For God Alone Saves 

When Comes The Dark Night!
