I heard an awesome message preached on idols recently. Great food
for thought! What is the idol in your life?
“Idol” defined is an image or representation of a god used as an
object of worship or a person or thing that is greatly admired, loved or
revered.
How to identify the idol in your life…
An idol always costs something (i.e. an expensive hobby…)
An idol makes other things in your life inconvenient to you.
An idol is something you think/say you could never live without.
An idol consumes the most of your time.
An idol consumes the majority of your thoughts.
One of my favorite verses on idolatry is 1 John 5.21 “Little
children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” Easy to memorize and straight to
the point!
So after evaluating your day-to-day activities and what you spend
the majority of your time thinking about, what’s the idol in your life?
How would you help someone get rid of an idol they cling to? What
Bible verse do you think you’d share with them?
