Whatever they did, I'm not going to do that.

It's like, oh, Adam and Eve were tempted by a serpent in the garden to eat fruit?

Yeah, I'd never do that.

Oh, I'd never turn on God after he pulled through for me.

Well, I just mentioned at the beginning, how many times have you told God yourself?

You say, oh, I would never do what Israel did.

I would never take a gift that God given me of gold and then turn it into an idol and worship it and abandon God.

Yeah, but every time you say, God, if you just do this thing for me, if you heal my heart from my breakup, I'll serve you.

God, if you just help me pass this quiz or test, I'll serve you.

God, if you get me a job, I'll serve you.

God, if you get me a girlfriend or a boyfriend, I'll serve you.

Then God pulls through and then you abandon God.

You say, all right, see, I got what I wanted.

You never loved God in the first place in that moment.

In fact, we do it all the time.

So we can't say, oh, I'd never do that.

I mean, the Israelites did it.

I've done it in my own life, especially before I became a Christian.

Maybe you're doing it right now.

Maybe you have done it in the past.
