Idolatry is such a harsh- sounding word. It's a good thing God's people today don't struggle with idolatry - or do they?
What really is idolatry? One commentator defines it this way:
"Idolatry is anything that comes between you and God."Using that definition, an uncomfortably long list of things could potentially fall into the category of becoming idols:
Television
Clothes
Your job
Your car
Your sweetheart
Your spouse
Your child
Your ambition
Eating
Golfing
Skiing
______ing ( You fill in the blank)
Pick one item from the above list, and ask yourself the question: "Is this thing drawing me toward God or away from Him?" Then do what Isaiah 46:8-9, 12 suggests!
