“Wo Unto Those That Worship Idols”
Whenever a person places his affections and desires upon anything other than the true and living God; whenever one’s devotion and loyalty and trust is centered in any person or object other than the Lord and his kingdom; whenever the acclaim and applause of men take precedence over the approval of God—then that man is guilty of idolatry. Not all idols are made of wood and stone. Some of the prominent idols of this day include academic degrees, letters, and titles; careers and offices; social standing, fashions, and false feelings of desire for fulfillment.
