"And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, ..." Exodus 20

Many read this a breath a little easier - no worry here.!

But wait before you pat yourself on the back and ask yourself a question:

How much time do I spend at my job? How much time do I spend in prayer?  How much time do I spend watching television? How much time do I spend reading The Word?  How much time do I devote to God? How much time do I devote to sports or hobbies.

Idols are not sticks and stones, idols are anything that occupies more of our time, our talents, our emotions, our hearts more than our God - ANYTHING.!.
