What is my Golden Calf? | Randy Garcete
Why would you bow down and worship a man-made golden statue? This was a question I asked myself as a 19-year-old and I was experiencing it myself as a kid. It was my first time I got on a train off of those to Ohio, and during my travels there I visited Thailand, all of China and Vietnam. In every one of those countries I seemingly everywhere I turned, there were, for example, pictures or statues or temples containing man-made or other small food out of order of some other community. Men and women and children would come for this man-made statue. It would burn spicy, so nasty, smelling incense and he would bow down and he would chant or pray in front of this wooden, stoned, carved Bible. And that's a kind of Christian. Why would we waste our time doing this? Because it's so clear these people are deceived, they're lost, they're wasting their time and their attention on something that they're not and they're learning to live in a sense of lack of it. I've come to realize, however, that, just like Southeast Asia, our world today, the world that I live in, is surrounded by idols, and the idols of our culture might not seem to be born in the same shape as idols of heaven, all of the Anaheim, but they are idols, do I don't mean to call them the Anaheim, but they are idols nonetheless, and our culture is enslaved to idol worship and, as Christians, you and I are constantly being pulled to participate in the worship of idols Idols of money, pleasure, power and love. Everyone worship of idols Idols of money, pleasure, power and faith. Everyone worships something, everyone trusts in something to give them a sense of meaning and purpose. There's a statement that I've heard quite often that says there are no true atheists. An atheist will be able to trust in something outside of themselves to provide them with security and satisfaction. So if we're not looking at Jesus to provide us with ultimate meaning and purpose, we will turn to something more so than us. Everyone trusts in something, and the main point of my sermon today is this when you don't trust in God who made you, you will trust in God's name. When you don't trust in God who made you, you will trust in false gods. Please look your Bibles to. Exodus, chapter 32. Exodus, chapter 32.
Speaker 1:Today we're going to look at a fascinating story. It's one of my favorite stories in the Old Testament. It is such a stark example of parallels of our own lives today, what it looks like when humans stop trusting God and start trusting people False. God is the one I've been preaching to people like that, and we've seen God's deliverance of the people of Israel out in Egypt. We've seen him bring Israel to himself and outside around the country. And the third part of the Bible is the building of the tabernacle where God will ultimately be God's kingdom.
Speaker 1:What I want to do today is read chapter 13 on the next time, so that we can do your work and it's not too disruptive. Then I'm going to answer a couple of questions. Why do we worship idols? Why does God hate idols? What are for idols? Why does God need idols? What are our idols and, ultimately, what should I do with my idols? I'd like you all to stand and read through this chapter For a brief review or context of where this chapter is based at.
Speaker 1:The story picks up where Exodus, chapter 24, ended. Israel ended, moses entered and confirmed the coming of God through the blood sacrifice. Moses, aaron and the seven brothers of God have to have a mountain and they see God, see his glory, and have a meal. I'm not sure if it's with God or if it's just in his presence, but that's where Exodus, which I'm going to go ahead. And then Moses goes to the top of the mountain and disappears into the smoke and fire in the top of the mountain and disappears into the smoking fire at the top of the mountain there. He's about to be about to rise, and then the others stay there and wait for him. And chapter 25, verse 31, are the instructions that God gives to Moses for going to the tabernacle while Moses is on the top of the mountain. But we've got a little bit of a day now. It picks up in there. This is what's happening Moses is on the top of the mountain. This is how we build the tabernacle. So quite a dramatic account, number 20.
Speaker 1:When the people saw that Moses had laid him down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves up together to Aaron. Aaron was Moses' older brother. He was to be designated first to be my priest. He said to Aaron Up and blessed gods, you shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up on the hill, we do not know what to do with him. So Aaron said to them Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives. So Aaron said to them. And he received gold from their hand and fashioned it with a craving for it and made it into a golden cap. What is this intention?
Speaker 2:Level of intention.
Speaker 1:What is level of intention? Passion. And they said, these are for God to destroy will and brought you up out of the dead. When Aaron saw this, he wrote to all of them. And when Aaron made a talk to them, he said tomorrow is your day. And he wrote to them. And the next day the father burned all the nights and the father brought up his offerings and the people sat down to eat and drink. It was like this turned into a full-on worship party festival, and I can't think of a modern-day example of what I can think of as like a good style.
Speaker 1:But to a to a false God. And the Lord says to Moses Go down to your people whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt. Notice the change in the word that God is saying. To my people, my God. To your people he says Go down to your people whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt and have corrupted themselves. They have turned quickly aside, up out of the land of Egypt and corrupted themselves. They had turned quickly aside, quickly out of the way that I commanded them. They had made themselves a golden calf and had worshipped it and sacrificed it to it in his head, and so your father was born and he brought you up out of the land of Egypt and the Lord said to Moses I have seen this people before.
Speaker 1:It is a stiff-necked people. When it was stiff-necked, I think, of a certain one of my children. He doesn't want to do something. I don't know what he wants to do. And then he stiffens himself up and just determines to himself I will not do what my dad has to do. This is Israel. These are stiff-necked people.
Speaker 1:And the Lord says to one of those now the bitter world, lets me alone. These are terrifying words that my wrath may burn hot against them. I can assume that the word that I, that I am a great creature in you. It brings to mind the whole destruction of God that we know of. God was destroyed, but we know of it. God is saying. But Moses ignored and ignored his God and said oh Lord, why does your anger burn hot against your people? You brought about a great power in the land of the land of Israel. Why should the Egyptians say that the people in his hands did not bring them out to kill them in the mountains and to consume them in the face of the earth? Turn from your burning anger and be frank, and this disaster, the disaster of the land of Israel. Remember Abraham Isaac and Israel. Remember your promise to God.
Speaker 2:Remember your promise to God.
Speaker 1:The Holy Spirit, my God, is telling us that I will multiply your offspring as a star from heaven. All of this land that I promised I will give to your offspring and the people shall inherit it, and the Lord will let it be a disaster that is spoken of and he was bringing on to be done. Then Moses turned and went down to the mountain and he had with him a testimony in his hand, and it was Tablets had already gone both sides on the front, on the back, on the right. The tablets were the word of God and the writing of God and the reading and the reading of the tablets. When God's first voice was the pleasant shower, he said to us there is an anointing of the Lord in him.
Speaker 1:Now, I don't know what the Lord is talking about. I can imagine if something was said, but just a lot of it, A lot of chaos. This was the day, the worst day of his life. Paul stopped. He said to him it's not the sound of powering or victory, it's the sound of pride, it's the sound of seeing what you're doing.
Speaker 1:As soon as the kingdom came, he saw the path. He began to notice and to learn how off unless you reflect on me and he threw the towel on his hand and hurled it at him. He took the cat that he had made and burned it with fire and ground it to powder. And the name of the people who believed in him was Sin. And Moses said to Aaron why did these people do to you? What did these people do to you that you have brought such a great sin upon me? And Aaron said Let not any of you in my world work in me. Do you know that? The people that I have sent upon you today? And they said to them so the other team threw it into the fire and owls and hawks, and I think I don't know what, the, what the? I think it was a couple of times.
Speaker 1:I remember one of my children who passed. She loved me and we were together at night time and she turned the lights off and I would come in and look at her One of the times. She was in the living room and I would ask why the lights were on. They just turn on by themselves. They turn on by themselves. Both Aaron and Gary are sort of the same thing, just like well, it's people's fault. I threw it into the fire. Now it's getting this bad. I don't know how it happened when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, aaron had led them breakers, to the derision of their enemies. Derision there means ridicule scorn mocking, almost like hateful.
Speaker 1:That's ridicule. Then Moses stood with David and Aaron and said he was on the Lord's side. Come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered around him and said to him Thus says the Lord Thou hast put your sword on your side and I will teach you Thou art going to fall from the gate and today I will throw out the hand of the Lord into you and those who are on the earth. There is no hand in his name. And the sons of Levi came and told him the same word of Moses. He invited an employee to serve sin, and now you will have to prove it. Perhaps you can be atoned for your sin. So Moses returned to the Lord and said Alas, this people have sinned a great sin.
Speaker 1:They have made themselves gods and gods, but now you will prove their sin. But I would remind you, please walk now in your foot. I think I'm ready. The Lord said to Moses Wherever I sit against the God of the Lord, I will not go, neither people nor place, but which I have spoken to you. Behold, my name is the Lord and nevertheless, my name is the Lord and I will not go. And the Lord said to the flag On the people, because they made the cat one that they were going to, probably the most tragic story since Adam and Eve's death, such a very tragic story. You guys can see it.
Speaker 1:And I asked Chad to telliti how long it takes to do this chapter. I don't know. I guess it's about five minutes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, all right.
Speaker 1:So my first question that I'm going to ask you about this chapter is why do we worship idols? Why do we worship idols? Why do we worship idols? What compelled Israel to create what we have? They had committed themselves to God. All the things that were said will do. They just signed the contract to sacrifice their blood, to sacrifice their life. So what's going on here? Notice the first line. The first line says when people saw that Moses did. They calmed down and cried and they come down and come out. You put yourself in the shoes of the attitude of life and you have some children who are white and you've left everything that you've known for 40 plus years. You've built out this wilderness. You know where you're going. You know where you're going. There's this giant mountain, part of the island that is seemingly constantly exploding, with fire and lightning and smoke coming out of it. He gives you a sense of stability and security, and now he's blown up. He's exploded. Fire, snow mountain disappeared for six minutes.
Speaker 1:Do you know what to do? Go back to the gift. Just keep looking it out. Try to find a way to promise life on your own. Without knowing this, your sense of security is completely gone and God's time and grace is not going to be what it is. It's going to be's time that we put in place is the time that we expect All of us trust in something or someone to give us a sense of security, security and satisfaction. There's no sense of security that's appeared. God didn't show up and then put it in place. So, instead of trusting the Israel census, security was superior. God didn't show up for them to do what they were expecting. So, instead of trusting and waiting for God's timing, they took matters as well and turned back to what they knew best, which was Bible treasure.
Speaker 1:There's a quote from my professor. That's of the habits. That says don't rise above your goal. Fall to life's goals, and Israel's new goal was to live as a covenant people of God. But their system at 18 years old, better than the system built on our worship. It was to know yourself. It was tangible, you could hold it, you could look at it, you could touch it, you could feel it. You could feel it, you could vary it, you could create it. That's what Aaron and I do is create and begin. Instead of looking to God for a sense of security, significance and satisfaction, you turn to Paul's thoughts, and they could be able to control you when you don't trust in God's name.
Speaker 1:You don't trust in Paul's thoughts, all right. Second is, why does God hate idolatry? If you're like me and I first read this chapter, god's response is talking and singing and thinking about God. He loves us, he's our shepherd, he's our protector, he's our fire, he's all of these things. We rarely hear the talk of God when he says things like let people know that my wrath is burnt on them someday. I assume that in order to make it really shocking words, I mean her, not against him, but I assume that he ordered her to make a cremation Really shocking words. Why does God have that kind of visceral response to Israel's sin? It is because idolatry robs God of what belongs to him. Idolatry robs God of three things. Idolatry robs God of God. A 21 year adoration Back in Exodus 19,.
Speaker 1:God is talking to you and says you saw what I had to do to you. You saw how I put you on people's hands and brought you to myself. You said I rescued you, I saved you and I protected you in the wilderness. Now contrast that with what the school said when they put you down. They said they said hold, these are the gods that watch you out in that wilderness. I'm not like them. I'm not like them. I'm just this old cat. These are the gods that brought you out of the dead. Not God, not what. This old path that's been melted down in your hands. This thing brought you out of the dead.
Speaker 1:Is there anything that's infuriating us so much that last Mother's Day Mother's Mother's Day's Day, mother's Day last year my wife suggested to me we were talking about politics. And we were talking about politics and she suggested that we get flattled without a promise. And at our next leadership meeting this was after we had that conversation we were talking about it and I said I've gotten a lot of promises from you guys. And I said we just thought about this the other day. We should get flattled with our own promise. And you should have seen the look on her face. I just thought all this through today. We should be glad we took a moment to talk to you and you should have seen the look on her face. I took the credit. I belonged to her in that idea.
Speaker 1:God wants your adoration, he wants your praise, he wants to be adored by you and he deserves all of our credit. When you give yourself, all of your attention to the Lord, you overcome some life challenge that you're facing. He wants your credit Because it's his great sister and too often we give you to the greatest podcast reader or religious poet in the United States, laura Mark, general, religious, the God of this generation. God of this generation, I acknowledge my God, god, god and your application. Secondly, I acknowledge my God robs God of your navigation. Secondly, idolatry robs God of your communion Communion. What I mean by this is the definition of the dictionary that I came up with.
Speaker 1:That I saw was the sharing or its changing of intimate thoughts and feelings. The sharing or its changing of intimate thoughts and feelings we share in our experience, with our thoughts and feelings. In chapter 24, we saw the scene of Moses Aaron and the seven elders on the mountain in the 8th century AD, the catch glimpse of God's glory. And Exodus 24 tells us that they helped God and gave him a chance to pray. And back to this point what it was is to make all of God and to make Him and to make Him see what we do, whether it was with God or with His friends. There's this, you know fasting in God's presence and sharing in God's presence. There's this amazing sequence and it's like something, some kind of garden. My pastor told me to just shut down. And this time it seems like it's happening, but it's not in God's presence, it's in the presence of an old cat pilot. The text tells us that people sat down to eat on the side of the mountain, sat down to down to eat and drink, and the men rose up and took away.
Speaker 1:I thought this would be a rock god or a school of thought. This is a really cute school of thought, to use the high draw, which is also my term, true, but to draw the analogy here of a marriage. Christmas has passed and we've been together celebrating our Sunday night of the week, and I think it's a significant amount of weight that we've spent holding together, by each other's hands, and it was this amazing time of being together. I imagine if I would have abandoned her and gone and spent that time with a single mother, she would have been robbed of her communion that she would have shared with me. So she would be justified in that. She would be justified in that.
Speaker 1:Why does God hate idolatry? So she would be justified in her own way. She would be justified in her own way. Why does God hate idolatry? Because it robs him of his love. God wants to be with you. Jesus said if anyone loves you, he will keep my word and my Father will love him. He will come to you and make our home with them. God wants to spend time with you. He wants to share life with you. I want to take. How long money and life are we paying for? Turn back to the Bible. We take our energy, our focus and our attention to the truth. We're going to die. My thirdly, that I'll fear of God here. I'm going to be sure.
Speaker 2:And I'll fear of God here.
Speaker 1:Turn back to Exodus, chapter 25. So where is Moses when this seems to be the case? He's talking about the receiving of the flesh or the building of the tabernacle, and chapter 25 opens up the that God told him was this talk to people that they may make a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him, he shall receive a contribution, and this is a contribution verse from the gold, silver and bronze it was one of the longest. It is that every man who comes bring out of their free will to God an offering at the office of the building of the tabernacle. This is a combination. Israel was called to participate in this building process, but in the very next scene you see that the table was to be offered up when building the tabernacle and to bring it to the Lord's building of the world. All of that gold that came to Aaron was meant to be attributed to the worship God and doing the covenant with Him.
Speaker 1:In the life of the lost God in time, of the energy, of the money, in the lust for attention, god wants us to attribute all of those sins to what he's doing for us, to worship and to worship. Satan wants to contribute your time and energy and money and focus to the idols of the world, on things that would give us dissatisfaction and disappointment. John Wesley says To him alone our heart is due. He cannot, he will not quit his claim and consent to this being given to him by me. He is continually saying to every child of man my son, give me thy heart. And to give our heart to any other is to claim our Dollar Tree. Our Dollar Tree robs God of all things and it ultimately robs you of me. When you don't trust in the guides that you make, god may make you trust in the false gods and not make any discussion about that.
Speaker 1:So I've been talking a little bit about our idols. I'm going to be exactly pointing to that. This is like our idols or our idols. I don't have a full-on statute of the real or the real stuff that you do, that I'm constantly doing, but I do have many other things that I love, just as a probationary between this, that are just longing for my heart. John Tyson said the human heart is an idol. In fact, the human heart is an idol. In fact, an idol is anything that takes the place of God as an ultimate source of security, significance or satisfaction, and I will draw on four Bibles that Thomas Aquinas writes about. I found this really helpful as I thought about it. I thought about all the Bibles today. I thought these things are not wrong in themselves, but whenever we replace God, as we're all supposed to be, and purpose, whenever we love these things, we're going to validate them more often. We can't find a way to do that? The first one is money the money, material or financial accumulation. Behind every one of these lies, behind every one of these lies, is the lie that I give you true satisfaction, true security, and we turn to the good things that we're giving you, to that lie.
Speaker 1:This can look, this can take shape in many different shapes. It can look like somebody sacrifices a good work things in their lives to make more money. You can look like you've never quite been satisfied with the house that you have. You look like a car that you drive for a long time. You're always wanting to upgrade your lifestyle. You're constantly scrolling on Facebook or other places. I can buy that house and I can be satisfied. I can make this much money. If only I could make six figures. I could be secure. I wouldn't have of an important item. So only I could have a class. I could have Mr Wells, or her fashion sense. I could have Mr Daniels, and I could have the type of wealth I need for my own company. I would be satisfied with that. Thompson's line is called this false idol of money. Again, money is not wrong, it is what it is. You look to it for a sense of security and it seems like it is satisfying. Secondly, you don't want's satisfying.
Speaker 2:Secondly, I don't know what you're trying to describe, but it's a. I don't know what you're trying to describe, but it's a, it's a.
Speaker 1:The second one is power the ability to command influence or dominate others. This can look like a ruthless businessman who will cut corners and run over people and just sweep his way to the top, or an overly controlled parent who never wants to be restored to being a penicillin. It's going to look like a husband or a wife who manipulates their spouse. Red is there to dominate that table of the one wife and manipulates her spouse. That is that which dominates that church. Jesus says whoever wants to become a great person has to be a great person. Jesus is your ultimate sacrifice. Thirdly, pleasure. Paul's title was pleasure. Again, god gave us to experience pleasure and many different forms. But when we take the term pleasure instead of God, for a sense of security and security and satisfaction, we turn pleasure to life. This is the pursuit of immediate gratification, of comfort and sensory experiences, and I will work with this. You look like addiction is coming off of you. You look like addiction is coming to you right off the bat. It's neglecting important responsibilities. You look like you're pursuing that. This is gratification and their responsibilities and the pursuit of this and that life. And look at that. Turning to the movement of the planet, I am feeling afraid, overwhelmed and disappointed. I am not trusting God's timing. I want to pursue this, but I don't feel it. I will pledge that.
Speaker 1:Fourthly, the idol of fame the desire for praise, recognition and admiration from others. This will look like never, will always make decisions. That is often probably unperceived. You're always wondering what you're going to do. Your thoughts are about what you're going to do as opposed to what God is going to do, not seeking the truth, but you're afraid of what people will say about you. It proves to be that you're afraid of what people say about you. It's going to look like the traffic is going to be the best place to follow the world's sleep people, and that's a nice assumption. Think of the actual world as like a wonder of life. You're going to desire to break everything. All four of these things are idols. If we don't, we look at the end of Jesus. Jesus and Jesus alone fill us. Fill our needs for security, security and satisfaction. And if you don't trust in God and man, you you trust in all the gods in the world.
Speaker 1:You've looked at why you worship idols and you've looked at why God hates idolatry? What are some modern versions of idolatry? Lastly, I'd like to look at what should I do with my idols? This is I had a difficult time getting through this Because for Israel there is no idols. For me, looking and watching people in some the south east Asia, it was obvious. That's why I destroyed it. It was obvious. For you and I it's not quite obvious. Our eyes are often motivations of the heart, attitudes of the heart.
Speaker 1:But facing the application from the text, today, I went to Amar, an application that seems sort of radical and simplistic, that is essentially to identify and destroy violence. So when you guys are asking this, you know what's up. It's a two-step rule and it's a little bit like what's up, it's a two-step movement to how do I do that? Moses serves as our example. He's done with the mountain and he identifies the island first. He sees it, he recognizes it for what it is. He sees it, he recognizes it for what it is. This is an all-star.
Speaker 1:We first have to identify our idol. We have to identify our idol. To do that, we have to learn to recognize them. I want you all to have a pen, to write a pen, and if you don't have a pen, write a poem. And if you have your phone, pull up and look up and then repeat Act, and if you have your comical look, you're like oh, I'm going to take a nap. But I like to borrow an exercise that I've learned in the books, that's, with the writers. But I don't know if that's the right word, but I like tovert call in identifying what my files were what is my role path?
Speaker 1:So what I write down before I set up my online pleasure, power and fame, or I don't know what remains of my reputation.
Speaker 1:Another way to make it is with recognition. Now I'll ask you guys a series of questions. I want you to stick with me here and think through this. What is the echo that you can use in the best opportunity? The first question is this what? Which one of these four do you feel like is definitely not the right one? Which one of these do you definitely feel like you can get out, Go ahead and cross off? The first one I could do was lift it up. I'd love to ask you to explain why you crossed that off. You can do it at my end, but I can't do it at your end.
Speaker 1:I said next, next, and hit the next one and feel it. This gets harder every time. Okay, I would remain to, and I want to be clear that this exercise does not mean that this is your life, but I'll explain it a little more. I would remain to. Which one would you definitely not like to do? Which one would you definitely not play without? Which one would you not give up If you choose, let's say, your super popular player and you have some money, would you rather give up wealth before and have other of this history play into the chapter? It's going to be a little bit like a cross-off.
Speaker 1:It's going to be a little bit like a cross-off. Okay, so what I hope you can take from this is that, if you are going to turn your way from God to the truth and idol of the heart, this taboo word is the ultimate, most likely one pleasure. Do you turn to this for security, having to feel worried or anxious or afraid? Do you turn to this title for a sense of significance or a feeling of security? Do you turn to this for satisfaction or for discourage or for frustration? But then this does not mean that you have an idol. If the world turned away from the gods, this is probably going to be the one. Alright, so identify the idol. Now that you've identified, what is the most likely idol? If the idol was to turn into an idol, what are you going to do with that? He has to destroy it.
Speaker 1:Moses has to go through this radical process of elimination and destruction. It's almost a new experience. I don't know if he ever thought of utterly destroying something, but he works of this story. There's two words in this. Moses takes this path, burns it and I would just be up there, I'm going to listen. He grinds it into a powder. He's not done that. He mixes it in water and then mixes it into a drink. There's nothing left in the desire. He literally takes it and turns it into a drink. He literally destroys it and then he prints it out of anything he thinks.
Speaker 1:By all means the uttering destroyed it. And then he brings the camera to the end of the video, right off. He calls him to leave him and tells him I'm going to throw the door back to you and the rest of you will be able to stop. The uttering destroys it. He's ratting his knife to eliminate him. He's racing right off. Jesus says, with your eye, the fence you plucked out. You had him cut off. He's there to help you. He said I am With my name and my heart. So if your idol is pornography, so if your idol is a monogamy, what does it look like to follow one's example and destroy that?
Speaker 2:idol and ignore it.
Speaker 1:If your idol is a picture of two men or two women, what steps and measures can you take to ensure this? What steps matters to the will? See it. You understood, he knew what it was. He realized he could not destroy his idol. They were going to be left stranded in the wilderness without God's presence in the world. Some of them made for back to Egypt and enslaved him or killed him and arrested him on the one hundredth of August until they all died, stranded in the wilderness, at the end of the standard of the pandemic. And it's not an adventure, do not fret. Next to the idolatry of what it is you like, you will end up stranded in the wilderness without that presence as that new life. And what does this mean to you? It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It.
Speaker 1:I think that's our application. But this looks like a repentance. That's what I'm doing. I'd like to end with a quote from Steve Jobs. I, before I do that, I want to ask you a question. Before I do that, I want to ask you a question, and that our culture today last time we were here lost out on our own power. We all worship something, and if we don't look to God for a sense of meaning and satisfaction, we will survive. So it's crucial that believers follow these seven or five principles.
Speaker 1:Ask them to destroy their own cars when you don't trust anybody. Maybe you don't trust any of us.
Speaker 2:Maybe you don't trust anybody.
Speaker 1:On Steve Jobs' figure of the iPhone on his deathbed, I don little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life. With my investment At this moment, lying on my bed, holding my whole life, I realize that all of my recognition, the riches that I took so much pride in, have become insignificant, meaningless and a waste of time and money.
