Sons of God

The gods of Canaan

The world lives today with the worship of pagan gods; not just pagan idols but in yielding to the god of pleasure more than to the instructions of the Creator God. Even such practices as abortion are a replay of ancient pagan practices of child sacrifice. This sermon describes these wretched similarities.
