My beloved, flee from idolatry. The average American family spends 26 hours a week watching television. It certainly isn't the only idol we have in our society, but it's one of the most powerful. Other things that might be displacing our devotion to God are sports, money, work, hobbies, or even other people. Perhaps music or movies or the Internet has captured our devotion.
Idols come in various forms, and they can control our lives.
When they do, we need to look again at God's anger with the Israelites to see what He thinks of idols. Let's check our devotion. We should serve nothing but Him. An idol is anything that takes the place of God.
