The God a Man Serves

That to which a man bows continually, which molds his life and shapes his conduct, is his god, whether spelled with an initial capital or not. With some it is Mammon, with some Bacchus, with some Mars, with others fame and pleasure. There may be no shrine or image of the god in his home, but it is in his heart, and his conduct shows that it is acknowledged master of his life. There is but one God, Jehovah, the God of love, and of righteousness, and of power, who makes His worshipers free. All other gods enslave, dwarf, and finally destroy their worshipers.
