The document appears to be a quiz or game where the reader is prompted with questions like "Who am I?" and "What did/do I do?". It includes various Bible passages about idols and not worshipping false gods. A key message is that idols can lead people astray from God and make them "idle" or inactive in their faith. The document encourages avoiding assimilation and instead focusing one's trust only in God.
18. Exodus 20: 1 – 6 (NIV)
And God spoke all these words:
2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of
the land of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of
anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the
waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous
God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the
third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but
showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me
and keep my commandments.
24. ISAIAH 2:17-
18
■ 17 The arrogance of
man will be brought
low
and human pride
humbled;
the LORD alone will be
exalted in that day,
18 and the idols will
totally disappear.
Point to Ponder
The Lord alone is
eternal. Why trust
in anything else?
25. Psalm 106:34-39 ■ New Living Translation
■ 34 Israel failed to destroy the nations in
the land, as the LORD had commanded
them.
35 Instead, they mingled among the
pagans
and adopted their evil customs.
36 They worshiped their idols,
which led to their downfall.
37 They even sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons.
38 They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and
daughters.
By sacrificing them to the idols of
Canaan,
they polluted the land with murder.
39 They defiled themselves by their evil
deeds, and their love of idols was
adultery in the LORD’s sight.
Points to Ponder
We can be consumed when
we don’t follow the Lord’s
commands.
Assimilation causes us to
loose our effectiveness.
The problems of our day
exist because we have not
set ourselves apart.
Am I cheating on God?
26. ASSIMILATE
■ To take into the mind and thoroughly
understand
■ To absorb into the cultural tradition of a
population or group
■ To make similar
27. Habakkuk 2:19-
20
■ New Living Translation
■ 19 What sorrow awaits you who
say to wooden idols,
‘Wake up and save us!’
To speechless stone images you
say,
‘Rise up and teach us!’
Can an idol tell you what to
do?
They may be overlaid with
gold and silver, but they are
lifeless inside.
20 But the LORD is in his holy
Temple. Let all the earth be
silent before him.
Points to Ponder
What do expect from
the lifeless? The
empty? The broken?
What sorrow awaits …
28. 1 Corinthians
10:14; 19-22
■ 14 So, my dear friends, flee from
the worship of idols.
■ 19 What am I trying to say? Am I
saying that food offered to idols
has some significance, or that idols
are real gods? 20 No, not at all. I am
saying that these sacrifices are
offered to demons, not to God. And
I don’t want you to participate
with demons. 21 You cannot drink
from the cup of the Lord and from
the cup of demons, too. You cannot
eat at the Lord’s Table and at the
table of demons, too. 22 What? Do
we dare to rouse the Lord’s
jealousy? Do you think we are
stronger than he is?

29. Proverbs 3:5-8 ■ New Living Translation
■ 5 Trust in the LORD with all your
heart; do not depend on your
own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which
path to take.
■ 7 Don’t be impressed with your
own wisdom. Instead, fear
the LORD and turn away from
evil.
8 Then you will have healing
for your body and strength for
your bones.
Point to Ponder
Where is your
trust?
