When the World Says “Win,” Jesus Says “Follow”

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

In the film Billions, every character is chasing something—money, power, revenge, control. Their lives orbit around the next deal, the next victory, the next strategic move. And yet, for all the brilliance and ambition on display, there’s a quiet emptiness underneath it all. Scripture has a name for that emptiness: idolatry—when anything other than God becomes the center of our lives. “You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24 The show becomes a mirror. It reminds us how easy it … Continue reading →

Idolatry

Hear what the Lord says to you, people of Israel. This is what the Lord says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified by them. For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will … Continue reading →

They continued … Continue reading →

Is Idolatry Bad?

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep … Continue reading →

Is the Blessed Virgin Mary the Queen of Heaven?

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Officially, Roman Catholics worship only God – the Father, the incarnate Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Church, however, encourages veneration of the saints, with the virgin Mary foremost among them. Mary has received incredibly high-sounding titles, such as Mediatrix of all Grace (because Jesus came into the world through her), Co-Redeemer, Advocate and Dispenser of God’s Grace, and “Queen of Heaven,” despite the fact that the prophet Jeremiah strongly condemned the Jews of his day for worshiping a personality … Continue reading →
