Mankind has been in rebellion to God since the Garden of Eden, but because of an inherent need to worship, idolatry in various forms has been adopted, much of it very violent. To avoid rebellion and idolatry in your own life, do not neglect the first three of the Ten Commandments, as you live to observe all, making sure you obey God and boldly stand as an advocate for His way.
