The First Commandment Compels Missions

You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3
How many gods can there be whom men might want to set above the God of heaven? The Hindus have over one million different gods, some so minor they are worshipped only in one village or another. The Muslims have but one god, but he is so strangely different from the True God that no one who knows the True God could confuse Him with their god. But these are just things we have created to pose as god.
We also create things that we call good but treat them like a god. We need money to live, but not to devote our lives to gaining or keeping. God told us to take a break from labor and to rest, but we have elevated sports and activities to the level of god. All of this idol worship is condemned by God and brings eternal judgment. Before idol worshippers perish they need to be warned of their fate and told of how to be saved. On Mt. Sinai God established the need for missions.

Dear Father, Help us to worship You only and to warn the lost of their fate. Amen.
