Evaluate your efforts on the first two commandments. You may share if you like, any successes and failures:
- NO OTHER GODS: God’s reign in my life has been replaced by another object or person I would rather serve. I love other things more than I love and obey God.
- NO IDOLS: A picture or image of God has replaced the real Lord as the object of my worship. I have transferred my loyalty to an object, an activity, an organization or a person which has become the God I serve.
