“Our fathers refused to obey him, but thrust him aside, and in their hearts they turned to Egypt, saying to Aaron, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and were rejoicing in the works of their hands.”Acts 7:39-41 ESV

All,
This stands out because it’s so human to worship idols. We want to control our world and “idols” give us that ability. Whether the idol is money, job, kids, reputation, etc., we are tempted to put our hope in them instead of God. God knows this and still loves us. We know deep down these earthly things do not give us control, but we want to believe the lie of the great con man. Please pray that we and our friends seek first the Kingdom of God (Matt 6:33). God is waiting and actively seeking us. Please pray for the men contemplating CLC.
