The Abominations of the Canaanites
An abomination is something that causes extreme disgust or loathing;
something repugnant or shameful, detestable. These are very strong
words but ones our God used to describe what the Canaanites commonly
practiced. These practices were all used by the Canaanites to know
the future. Israel was to rely instead upon God’s revealed will.

Gods At War
Gods at War
is a recent book written by Kyle Idleman concerning the subject of
idolatry. The question is asked, “Why study idolatry?” “No one
worships idols anymore,” some may say. Idleman argues that there are
gods at war for your heart which is the center of your personality,
emotions, will, and motives. (Proverbs
27:19) “As in water face reflects face, so a man’s heart reveals
the man.” NKJV So everything about me depends upon who wins that war.
Now we will discover who these gods are that want to take control of our
hearts.

Removing The
Landmarks The
prophet Hosea warned Israel that their spiritual leaders had led them into
idolatry and sin. Ephraim, once richly blessed, had moved the ancient
landmarks of God’s truth. Both priests and rulers corrupted worship, and
judgment was near. God’s boundaries are fixed—His people must not alter what
He has established. |
