Ezekiel chapter 14 verse 6.

Therefore say to the house of Israel,

thus says the Lord God, repent and turn away from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your

abominations. Oh, this is the central message, not just of Ezekiel, this is the

central message of the Bible. Ever since sin enters into the world, God is calling people to repent. This is the message

Jesus came with. This is the gospel message. Repent and believe the gospel.

Mark chapter 1 verse 15, turn away from sin, turn away from idols,

turn away your faces from all your abominations,

and the problem here in Ezekiel is

God's people were not responding to that command.

They had grown comfortable with their sin and their idolatry and they were

turning away from God instead of turning away from

sin to God and so as we pray Ezekiel chapter 14 verse 6 today I want to encourage you even as I'm going to do the same.

Obviously we, it's a unique way to do this via podcast, but I want to encourage us, even have some time in this

prayer just to pause and specifically repent of idols in our lives of sin of abominations just any and everything in our lives that is not pure and holy

any and everywhere where God is not raining supreme in our hearts where we have put even good things above God.

That's part of what idolatry is elevating good things to a level they don't belong as ultimate things.

Enjoying gifts while ignoring the giver.

So just think in your life as we pray,

oh God, we hear today, whenever we're listening to this this whether it's early in the morning or late at night or somewhere in between

or we hear your call right now to repent from your word and so we pray that you would help us right now to
