Show Notes:

Why are we tempted to worship/have idols in our lives?

  • Idols are ultimately a form of self-worship.
  • Our sinful nature makes us selfish and we are apt to make ourselves “gods”.
  • Self is always at the core of idolatry. Think about Adam and Eve wanting to be like God.
  • The definition of idolatry is “the worship of idols or excessive devotion to or reverence for some person or thing.” 
  • Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me.”
  • 1 Corinthians 10:31 “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
  • Colossians 3:5 “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry”
