Some months back I was shopping in an Indian grocery.. They were selling many idols.. It was some hindu festival time.. An American family walked into the shopped, fascinated by the idols and bought one. They thought it was some decorative item. They really did not understand that it is used for idol worship. I was reading the history of Israel and how they mingled with Canaan.. God gave them very clear instructions.. Nothing to do with Canaanites.. But Israelites slowly allowed them, got into marriages with them and started to worship their gods..
I wonder is USA is allowing the same thing. I can speak on behalf of Indian population influx. I am not saying immigration should be stopped. I am just saying Americans should be aware of difference between culture and idolatry. In the name of tolerance of culture, there are so many things being introduced in America. The nation is being filled with hindu temples. Is it a good sign? Certainly not!!
Another thing that fascinates me is Bindhi.. Google it.. It is some red sticker kind of thing which women wear in South India. It is becoming more like a fashion symbol. Western people have no problem wearing it when they go to India or some Indian friends introduce it to them. But there is a spiritual meaning behind that..
This is a message for me also. How many Indians have been preached the gospel and are taken to Church? And how many Indians have successfully got idols into American houses? The latter is way higher than the first.. I am not saying there should be no freedom or etc. That is not my point at all. I think Christians are being passive in evangelizing people which is resulting in a generation going towards idolatry.
Just thought of rambling
