Celebrity:


Two thousand years ago, a Man named Paul entered into the Greek city of Athens. Paul was sent there by Jesus Christ, to tell the city of God's incredible love and forgiveness.

In Athens Paul tried to tell people about Jesus and his Heavenly Father, but the people were confused because they had many gods... each god was worshiped through little statues called and idols.

Paul stood up in the center of all of these idols and said, "I see that you are very religious people! You have hundreds of Idols for worshipping your many gods. You even have even built an altar "To an Unknown God,"

This is the God I want to tell you about. Your unknown God is actually the very God who created the world and everything in it. He is the King of Heaven and earth, and He does not live in statues built by human hands. We are his children and he has proven his power by raising his son from the dead..."

This is the God who deserves your worship, not these powerless idols.

Today... we no longer worship carved wooden idols...

Today... our idols are statuesque humans with "hot bodies" carved from exercise, anorexia and silicon.

We call these idols Celebrities, and there are hundreds of them that we obsess over and even worship.

Think about it ... what else would you call the insane obsession with those who are famous. Hundreds of magazines and TV shows are dedicated to maintaining the Celebrity worship.

We have hundreds of gods to choose from in our worship: Musicians, actors, comedians, athletes, and the rich all worshiped with greater devotion than would even be considered for the true God....

Like the Greeks, we even have an altar to an unknown god... or in our case... and unknown celebrity...

(Flash to American idol.)

So Kelly joins ranks with the likes of Britney, Christina, Paris, Lindsay, Leonardo, Zac, Vanessa and more. And we keep looking for more unknown celebrities.

Why?

Because something deep inside us knows that the Celebrities who we worship are just as empty as we are. They are supposed to have "everything" but look at the stupid lives they live. DUI's naked pictures, broken relationships, lost custody of children, drug rehab, eating rehab, divorce, suicide, and more...

They are just as desperate for meaning as their fans are...

They are not the real unknown celebrity that our hearts are looking for.

The real unknown Celebrity is far more famous than any of them.

This unknown Celebrity is actually the very Celebrity who created the world and everything in it. He is the King of Heaven and earth, and he does not live in Sitcoms, cd's, sports, or Gossip mags built by human hands.

We are his children created and he has proven his power by raising his son from the dead..."

We were made to worship him, and him alone.... and our hearts will not rest until we have encountered him!

He is the one we should be worshiping... because he is the only real God... the living God.
