Sermon: The IQ Test

The Bible tells us that our hearts are corrupt, we often turn to other people or objects or ideas for help rather than God. This is what the Scriptures call idolatry. But how can we discern the idols in our lives? How do we dethrone them that we may truly worship the God who loves us? In this sermon, through Zechariah 10:1-5, Pastor Timothy helps us identify the idols in our lives through the "Idolatry Quotient" test. Come find out what the "I. Q." test is all about.

Here is an excerpt:
Despite being blind since she was her child, Owens could see the truth of God with greater perspicuity than most Christians. Over the last 9 CDs, she has had been inundated with such a passion to communicate these truths through music. However, lately Owens has been ennuied by the current slant of contemporary Christian music towards secular love songs. So, for this her 10th recording, she has decided to return back to the older hymns of the church to help her express the deep truths of God in a fresh way.

ABC Poetry Moment - My Heart's Desire by Ardith Engel

Jesus, my heart and soul’s desire,
You fill me with celestial fire!
Scorched by your passion I am pure
Your blood and body sinner’s cure
Who but my Lord is like to thee
Forfeiting power for slavery?
You could have ruled the universe
Distant from man and the cross’ curse
But you are not that God to me
Of an unmoving majesty
You offered up your Son to die
To tangle Satan in his lie
For he would have you without love
God of the angels far above,
But not a God become a man
In the sweet mystery of your plan
Jesus, I love thee heart and breast;
Let not doubt put me to the test.
No greater love has God for me
