In the month of January 2013 we did a two part radio broadcast called American Idols, Celebrity Worship = Sin of Idolatry(here and here). We covered that in this present age celebrity worship has now become a new religion for people, and the celebrities they worship are in reality their god or goddess.  In American society people may not worship the idol gods of stone, wood, bronze, silver, and gold.  However, they do worship actors/actresses, singers, musicians, news anchors, athletes, models, and politicians. These individuals develop faithful followers that follow their every word and move.  However, the Bible warns us about the sin of idolatry.  One may ask what is the sin of idolatry? Let us examine this sin in this expose'.  Are you a person guilty of the sin of idolatry?

What is Idolatry ?

Idolatry is the worship of spirits, persons, or graven images.  It also includes trusting in any person, institution, or thing as having equal or greater authority than G-d and His Word.

In ancient Biblical times the nations surrounding the children of Israel were involved in idolatry. They worshiped all types of gods and goddesses including Chemosh, Baal, Moloch, and Astaroth. Now Yahweh had warned the children of Israel not to worship these idol gods. Yahweh alone was to be worshiped because He was and is the only "true living G-d" and the Creator.  Unfortunately, Israel fell in and out of idolatry which bought judgment upon the nation for disobeying  G-d.

The very reality is this: Israel fell in love with these idols by worshiping them.  In addition, these idols were really demon spirits. Psalms 106:36-37 reveals the truth that these idols were devils that  caused the people to commit acts of abomination and to sin against G-d.

New American Religion of Celebrity Worship

If you see people that place more emphasis and time in listening to the music of their favorite artist, watching their favorite television program, or dedicated to their favorite sports team and athlete, rather than worshiping G-d, you are seeing someone who is an active participate in a form of religion.  These people religiously follow their idol news media star, movie and television star, sports star, and/or politician.

The new houses of worship for this celebrity-centered religion are the iphone, ipod, computer, online, sports stadium, movie, music concert, television.  The celebrity worship Bible is the tabloid magazine.  Magazines such as US Magazine and The National Inquirer sell millions of copies each week.  Television programs such as E!, Extra, TMZ, Entertainment Tonght, and Access Hollywood give regular daily updates about their gods and goddesses(source).  

Sociologist Rodney Stark states, "typically people do not seek a faith; they encounter one through their ties to other people who already accept this faith." It's been said that fame is a religion, and celebrities are the gods.

So...to Which Idol Should You Bow?

The question is: what celebrity idols do you bow down to daily?  Do you you spend more time listening to ungodly music and watching ungodly music videos? What ungodly Anti-Christian and anti-moral celebrity poster is hanging on the wall of your room?   Do you spend more time reading about your favorite celebrity than you do your Bible? How much time do you spend in prayer versus watching your favorite television show with your favorite actor? Please think about these questions.  If you answered affirmatively to any of them, you might have a serious sin problem with idolatry. Stop bowing down to these celebrity idols! they don't mean your eternal soul any good!

1 John 5:21 warns Christians on the following, "Keep yourselves from idols." Don't bow down to the sin of idolatry! Revelation 21:8 states that idol worshipers will have their destiny in the Lake of Fire. Please keep Jesus Christ first in your life, and you will have eternal life.     

  

Coptic Priest Killed in Egypt(Christian Persecution)

Story Source UPI.com

A coptic priest was shot and killed in northern Sinai in what some are calling "the first sectarian killing" since Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was overthrown in a military coup.

Mina Aboud Sharween, a Christian priest, was attacked Saturday as we walked in the Masaeed area in El Arish, which is closed to the Gaza strip, in the early afternoon.

Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has reportedly criticized Egypt's spiritual leader, Pope Tawadros, for approving the outing of the president and attending a ceremony lead by the head of the army General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, where Egypt's constitution was suspended.

Adly Mansour has since been sworn in as Egypt's interim president. Morsi suporters have vowed to stay on the streets until the former president is reinstated.

Saturday's shooting came in response to the arrest of several leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood on Friday.

Is he just chillin' with the homie or down with the Illuminati?

I believe Lebron James is one of the most charismatic and talented athletes in the world today. I enjoy seeing him play the game of basketball. This article is not slam or slander the young man.  However, the hand signs or hand gestures he makes on and off the court have to be questioned. I'm not attempting to make this some type of Illuminati witch hunt. Do you think the hand signs he throws up are simply an innocent gestures? Are these hand-signs just part of the culture today like giving someone high five? Or are these hand signs more sinister and symbolize something of great evil?

So what does it really profit man or woman to gain money/wealth/fame only to his lose his or her soul? Is really worth it? Pray for these folks that they repent before it is to late! They need Jesus Christ right now!

Ohio Boy Kills Mother Over Chores(Without Natural Affection and Rebellious Kids)

Source Fox News

MILLERSBURG, Ohio –  An Ohio boy admitted he fatally shot his mother in the head with a rifle when he was 10 after what a relative described as an argument over chores.

The boy, now 13, entered the equivalent of a guilty plea Monday in juvenile court.

In January 2011, the boy went to a neighbor's house, called 911 and told the dispatcher he had shot his mother at their home in rural Holmes County, about 70 miles northeast of Columbus. "I shot my mom. I shot her with a gun," he said.

At the time, his uncle said the boy and his mother had argued over carrying firewood.

Defense attorney Andy Hyde said the boy lived in an emotionally abusive environment, was provoked by his mother's screaming and "just snapped."

The boy "is one of those that I just feel sorry for," Hyde said. "He had a lot dumped on him at a young age and responded inappropriately, but the spur-of-the-moment decision now will affect the rest of his life."

The boy will be sentenced later and could be held in a youth facility until he's 21. Hyde said Wednesday that the judge can consider a range of placement options, and he'll ask that the boy go to a residential treatment facility with access to counseling.

County Prosecutor Steve Knowling told The Repository in Canton the plea deal avoids a trial that benefits no one.

"It's obviously a very difficult situation because of his age, but it's still a murder case," Knowing  told the newspaper. He didn't immediately respond to a message seeking further comment Wednesday.

The boy said he understood his plea agreement during the Monday hearing attended by his father and other relatives, The Repository reported.

The issue of a trial had been on hold because the boy initially was found not competent for that. The court then found him competent earlier this year.

The boy has received counseling for anxiety and depression and can't bring himself to talk about the shooting, Hyde said.
