High Places

Text: 2 Corinthians 6:16-18; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 1 John 5:20-21

Let me speak to you this morning about something that is very important to all of us that serve the Lord. Most importantly the relationship we have with Lord and how we perceive Him in our daily walk with Him.

Adam and Eve were given a command from the God not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Genesis 2:17
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

They were to trust totally in the relationship they had with the Lord and not set any other relationships before Him nor to have any other aspirations but to serve Him in the pureness of holiness. This world we dwell in today has set up high places to worship God at and these places are not approved of the Lord. The Word speaks such to us that we should worship God and Him alone!

Reading the OT and also in concurrence with the NT I find that this world has set up “High Places” of worship! We see this so clearly by watching the media discuss politics and the economy in such a way that it is as if they are speaking of gods!
