Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with false gods as we pick up in Isaiah chapter 46 verse one and now with today's message

here's Pastor Chuck Isaiah chapter 46 now in Isaiah 46 we get a sharp

contrast between God,

the true and the living eternal God that created the heavens and the earth,

and the false gods that these people were worshipping.

And the tragic thing is these people were the Israelites, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

They had turned to idolatry.

And as you read the prophecy of Isaiah and of Jeremiah, they are crying out against the idolatry of the people,

warning them that their continued idolatry would bring upon them the judgment of God,

using Babylon as his instrument of judgment, and that they would be going into

captivity as the result of their idolatry.

You remember Jeremiah cried out, for my people have committed two sins. One, they have forsaken me,

the fountain of living water. And they have hewn out for themselves cisterns, cisterns that can hold

no water. Men will worship something. Men will believe in something.

They must. Every man has a God. But there are some religious systems that hold no water at all.
