Musing on Idolatry

Idolatry is self-abasing.

Idolatry is when we put something above us that is intrinsically beneath us.

The work of men's hands is beneath us - a creation is not greater than the creator.

To put money, tech, transportation, weapons, celebrities, etc. above us ... debases us.

God, our Creator, is intrinsically above us, and belongs preeminent in our lives.

These musings come from studying Isaiah 2 this week.

First 3 Scripture Song Videos are Live

...and we're on!

I posted 3 scripture song videos tonight.

Genesis 1:27
My daughter really wanted us to do this one first, because it is the first one in the Bible that we've memorized.  She spent a car-ride putting all our review sheets in order!  It's the 3rd song I made.  I decided I especially wanted my children first to have an understanding of the Plan of Salvation with scriptural support.  So the first few songs I created cover such topics as the purpose of life, creation, the Fall of Adam & Eve, the doctrine of Christ and His Atonement.

2 Nephi 2:25
This is the first song I made.  I started looking for really short verses that I thought the kids could memorize easily.  But every time I thought of this verse, the tune for Mighty Mouse went through my head!!  So I turned it into a little song.  This started it all!

Doctrine & Covenants 14:7
There are a lot of scripture tunes for Bible verses, but fewer for Book of Mormon and Doctrine & Covenants.  I wanted to post at least one D&C one tonight, and this one stood out.
