Passage: Isaiah 44:16-17* 16. Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire." 17. From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, "Save me; you are my god." Question How can pornography become like a god?   Practical help The human body. It’s a created thing that can serve many purposes, from building the software empire of Bill Gates to slamming dunks a la Tim Duncan. But there’s one purpose the human body cannot serve: as a legitimate object of worship. Isaiah reminds us of the futility of bowing to a created thing. Yet isn’t that the upshot of Web porn? How many times have we basked in the dim glow of a monitor, worshiping the image of another human being? Isaiah’s word for us: Wake up, idiots.
