2 Chronicles 14:1-5 King James Version (KJV)

14 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God:
For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
And commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.


1.   For Asa spiritual renewal included tearing down the idols.


I Kings 15:11-13
II Chronicles 14:2-5


2.   For Asa, spiritual renewal included building up the altar.


II Chronicles 15:8
II Chronicles 14:9-15

II Chronicles 15:2

“And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.”

King James Version (KJV)

Applications

1.   Tearing down the idols requires recognition, repentance, and replacement.


2.   Building up of the altar requires getting back to the basics.


Idolatry  ---means

Anything that diminishes our allegiance to GOD
Anything that claims our attention more than GOD
