You might not think there’s a lot of idolatry going on in our world today. But if you look around, it’s not hard to find. The idols might not be quite the same as what you read about in the Bible, but that doesn’t make the sin any different. There are still some people who bow down and pray to statues, but more often it’s things like sports and entertainment, cars, clothes, the almighty dollar, that steal people’s devotion from God. They give their hearts to pastimes and diversions, and they don’t spend any real quality relationship time with God.
How about you? Is your life so busy with the things of this world that you barely have time to go to church once a week–and even when you go, as soon as you get back home you’ve transitioned to “normal” life because worship is just a once in awhile thing for you and not a 24-7 part of your life? Or maybe God is not part of your life at all. That’s what modern-day idolatry is all about. And like it or not that’s #2 on God’s Not-to-do list!
