Hello friend and welcome to the Other World Podcast! My name is Moriyah and I am so happy you are here!

My heart really is for you to fall in love with reading the Bible and knowing God’s Word. I want you to be strong in your faith and be bold in being a light for Christ wherever you go.

Today we are going to be reading the first part of James chapter 4. The section is titled “A Warning Against Worldliness.” And we are going to be talking about idols & what they are.

So grab your Bible (I’m using an ESV translation) and a cup of coffee or tea if you’d like and let’s read the Bible together!

A warning against worldliness. This is something I have been thinking about a lot lately. How the world–our worldly desires, pleasures, and passions–can actually lead us away from the LORD.

It is so easy to be distracted by things that don’t truly matter. It is easy to sin and make idols for ourselves.

What is an idol?

What is an idol? An idol is anything that comes before God. It can be anything or anyone, not just an image of a “deity.” It is anything we love, prioritize, and focus on more than we do God. This can be an actual idol or carved image you hang on the wall, make a shrine for, or have a statue of. It can also be fame, money, power, friendships, your image, celebrities, music, art, books, social media, or the people you follow. I can be anything. They are easy to make. As Christians we want to be so careful not to make idols for ourselves.

Listen to the whole podcast to learn more about how to fight against idols and read James 4:1-10!
