Hollywood and the Movies John 4:23 says that true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. However, since the beginning of history Satan has been working to taint our view of worship and take our eyes away from God and toward idols. The most blatant example of idolatry in Scripture is in Daniel 3, where we read the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The king of the nation where these three Jews were in exile had a giant gold statue of himself built. He decreed that everyone had to worship the statue or face a death sentence. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to turn their back on the true God, and were thrown in a furnace as a consequence. Only through Gods mighty power were they not harmed.
