Don't exchange the truth for a lie

Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. (Romans 1:22-25 ESV)

In the beginning, God...that is how His story begins.  He is Holy, perfect, flawless, righteous, jealous, immortal, pure, loving, and He is unchanging.  Many through out history have tried to make God fit their own description of what He is like, often in an effort to justify their own sin.  I am confident that at some point, we have all done this...it's ok to ________, I deserve it...or I have every right to ________, it's my life!  Yet we know that when we do this we are sinning.  We must not adopt another view of God, who He is and has shown Himself to be in scripture.  If we alter our view of God, we are committing idolatry and if not corrected leads to false worship of the created and robs the Creator.  Let us instead remain in awe of His holiness and hold tight to the truth of His word, never exchanging His truth for the lies that this present age would have us believe.
