There is not one single human on the earth who doesn't worship something. There's not one single human who doesn't have a god.
David foster Wallace got it right when he said this: "In the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. If you worship money and things — if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. Worship power — you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart — you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on."
The atheist worships his own intellect and reasoning. The atheist views that as god. Just think about it: the intellect and reasoning that the atheist worships comes from a limited brain that can only detect 0.0035 percent of the electromagnetic spectrum -visible light - (of which that entire electromagnetic spectrum itself is only a fraction of what can be seen and exists in the universe). A brain that can't hear a dog whistle or even see certain patterns on plants that some insects can see. A limited 3 pound brain that certainly cannot fit the infinite God of the Bible inside of or in the tiny box of "proof" and "evidence" which that limited brain has created. They are slaves to their 5 senses and materialism, which ultimately leads to all the forms of worship listed above, in some form or fashion.
When we lose faith in anything beyond the material, we gain absolute faith in materiality, superficiality, status, selfishness, hedonism and consumerism. If there is no God, and everyone is just an accident, then all that really matters is me, me, me.
Folks, what are you worshipping today? Are you worshipping and putting on a pedestal something that is going to fade away? Are you worshipping the things of a world that is all going to burn? Why?
I worship that which is eternal - a living, risen savior - the Lord Jesus Christ - who is now beyond space, time and matter, as shown in the Holy Word of God which is also eternal: "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." - isaiah 40:8.
Even all of your good works will not matter and never be remembered in the end IF you do not have your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Don't pursue things that don't transfer over at death. Live your life cognizant of the fact that your life is short and spend your time glorifying the eternal and risen Jesus Christ and set your affection on Heavenly things.
