commandment #1

exodus 20:3 you shall have no other gods before Me

"other gods" - that's not a great problem here in present day america - is it? other gods? i guess it matters how you define "god" - hmmm - let's look it up

god = any deified person or object

so basically anything that we personally exalt to god-ship - anything we put in the place of god in our lives - in our heart

wait a minute - can i change my answer? i believe we do have a problem with that - here in america - sometimes in my home - even in church - and in my own life

just consider yesterday's sermon and closing - what do you allow to keep you from reading His Word every day? what do you choose to do instead or spending time with Him in prayer? that has become an "other god" to you

why not take time to read the Bible right now? i can make it really easy for you - you're already online - just follow the link below and read the song moses and the israelities wrote to thank God for proving to their enemy that He was the one true God!
