It does seem that these idols are all a mere distraction from God. Distraction has to be Satan's favorite tool. Sometimes we don't even realize it and sometimes we purposefully want it. Do you know what I'm saying? Awesome post.

No matter if they are objects, attitudes, feelings, etc. They all come from us. Great post, I think this is an area that isn't mentioned enough. When someone truly falls in love with Christ, they will remove all other idols. Check out Psalm 115:4-8, it goes along with the discussion of idols.pstrlemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192358872190883275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683498464830729940.post-78096322797002674722010-03-13T10:37:37.696-08:002010-03-13T10:37:37.696-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bible Huggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110633169960426544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683498464830729940.post-61330407204059157902010-03-13T10:35:52.081-08:002010-03-13T10:35:52.081-08:00I read this book called the heart of anger by Lou ...I read this book called the heart of anger by Lou Priolio. It's such a good book. I really need to get my hands on it again and read it. But anyway, in the book it talks about the idols of our hearts. If you have to be constantly entertained, or you always have to be playing video games or watching movies, then the idol, I think was being selfish or self gratification. They listed so many like pride, envy, jealousy, etc. Anyway, I always thought idols were objects like the TV or the computer, which they can be..but it turns out idols are really anything that we do that takes the place of God. Wanting to be number one is an idol. Wanting to look perfect is an idol. Caring what people think of you more than what God thinks of you is an idol. I just wanted to add this to the discussion because often times people think "well I don't love the TV more than God" and so they think they are good. Really, we all have idols in our hearts that need to be broken down and thrown out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
