Associate Pastor Connor Harris takes us through "The Dangers of Idolatry."
In today’s American culture, most people do not bow down to a wooden carving or a golden statue. The idolatry of today is much more subtle than that, and in some ways that makes it all the more dangerous to our spiritual health. Some of us often worship our goals in life, we put our families or our friends before God, we may put work or money before God, and sometimes we even put religious tradition ahead of God and worship those things instead of Him.
In Colossians 3, Paul lays out for us exactly how we are to overcome all these subversive idols, and particularly the number one idol – covetousness. When we submit ourselves to the Lordship of Christ over our lives, we begin the wondrous process of being conformed into His image. That means that we are being renewed to be like Him – and to be like God is indeed the only reality that is truly satisfying to the soul.
Scripture: Colossians 3.
