Only God deserves worship. Are people today worshipping God, or are they worshipping other gods?
Whatever you raise up in your mind before the Lord God is your god. Example doctors, evangelists, family, friends, pets, houses, drugs, money, ideologies, etc.
It is a slippery slope when we embrace other gods. We then worship them and serve them.’Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord the God of their ancestors who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods, and worshipped them and served them; therefore he has brought all this calamity upon them.’ 2 chronicles 7:22
When we worship, we first start by giving thanks to God and then praise; then, we bow down with the attitudes of our mind. We are not to give glory to anyone other than the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, our God.
