FLEE FROM IDOLATRY
Whatever you want, more than you want God, is an idol.
Whether it is
a political leader,
a porn queen,
a religious leader,
a ball team,
a loved one,
financial success,
academic excellence,
social justice,
gender equality,
anything or anyone,
it is idolatry.
The fact is, when we seek anything more than we seek God or we serve anything more than serve God, or we love anything more than we love God, then we are robbing God of His rightful honor and glory.
Idols are gods of our own making. Eventually the submission we give to those false gods holds us captive. God will set you free from your captivity, but you must first SEE that you have an idol, then you must FLEE from it. The problem is that people love their idols.
1 Corinthians 10:12-1
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
