Sermon Excerpt From “Participation in the Table” drawn from 1 Corinthians 10:14-22: But idols aren't real. But idolatry is powerful and sinful, and evil is real. And lurking behind those images, those idols, Satan is real. Demons are real. Sin is real. Dabbling in a false religion or dabbling with non-religious activities where spirits are called upon is dangerous. People calling upon a spiritual power, supernatural realm is very, very dangerous.
