The Sovereignty of God and Human Responsibility: Part Eleven

The Commandments (Part Three)

The Second Commandment: Idolatry

The Second Commandment

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

To guard against the world, we must be careful not to fall into idolatry, based upon limiting God to tangible objects or those things which occupy our thoughts.
