WE MUST NOT BOW!
I was reading in Judges 2:12, 17 and 19 how when the children of Israel came into Canaan that they bowed themselves down to other gods and "turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in."
We don't have literal pagan gods that we bow down today, and yet we still bow down to that which does not honor God. Anything that does not give God full allegiance is a god.
Because we are all prone to assimilate so easily, we often bow down to what society is doing. We get in the groove so we don't look out of place. However, when we tolerate things that God hates we are bowing down to them.
There are many believers who bow down to our public education. There may have been a time when God was honored, but not any longer. Students are not allowed to pray, read God's Word, or OPENLY confess Christ. It is based on a humanistic agenda which is contrary to God's Word. It caters to Islam and other religions, but not Christianity. And now we face the continual intervention of the homosexuals who are trying to teach our children that their lifestyle is normal.
And we bow down to this? Help! May God save us from bowing down to anything in our lives, or society, that does not put Him first! Can you say, Amen? (Daniel 3).
