When a good thing becomes a God thing, it's a bad thing.

This morning our church, Immanuel Baptist Church (www.ibc-lex.org) started a new service designed to reach 20s and 30s. It was awesome to see our church taking strides to reach our community, which is full of young professionals. Josh had the privilege of preaching this morning and did a FABULOUS job! God is really using him to help give the church vision.

His message was about the things that we let take the place of God in our hearts. Isn't it so true that we let the mundane, the routine, the temporal things to run our lives and rule our hearts? We let the small things become the big things in our lives. While our jobs and our commitments and our hobbies are not in their nature bad, they can become sin in our lives when they take the place of God. Therefore, to quote my husband, "when a good thing becomes a God thing, it's a bad thing."

What things are you letting take their place on the throne of your heart? A throne only meant for a King!

"You shall have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3
