Idolatry

posted:  27:03:07,  by:  morethanstone,  in categories:  Christianity, Emerging

Often times, I find that when I speak of idolatry, it doesn’t quite seem applicable to my life. I think that, though I know this isn’t true, I still think of idols as little statues that people worship.

Now, I know that’s not true. I know that we have idols in our lives. Sometimes we hear about people being idols. About money being an idol. Ok. I can see that. But aren’t there other idols that we currently accept in the church?

Comfort?
Education?
Class?
Safety?
Health?
The bible?
The church?
The nuclear family?

What do you think of these? Do you have more to add to the list?

    The pastor?
    The building?
    The institution?
    Our own community?
    Food?

    I think these are all right on, Sonja.
