God's Warning About Idolatry - 1 John 5: 21
God hates every kind of sin
but idolatry He detests most of all
this especially among His children
whom He loves, wishes them not to fall
The Lord throughout scripture has said
that concerning idols be on your guard
never to give them any kind of foothold
for if you do heavens road may be barred
But you may ask what's an idol?
well anything or one that takes God's place
God demands your full attention always
He must be the Lord ever at your place
You may think, hey God's not fair
what looks good to you, maybe not
you've got to trust God for real
for He's been here longer so very rare
In conclusion, be very sure
your only idol is God alone
for only, He is worth your time
it was for your sins He did atone
("Children, be on your guard against idols." 1 John 5:21)
