An idol has its place in your life because it's at the front of the line, always at the forefront of your mind and requiring you to spend more time and energy on it than anything else including your relationship with the Father. You could say that an idol is like a parasite but one we think we can't live without. As we’ll hear in today's message, as those idols are sucking the life out of us they keep us from experiencing what God has for our lives, bigger and better than anything we're clinging to instead of Him.
