๐ IDOLATRY AINโT JUST ABOUT STATUES!
1 John 5:21, Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
We often think of idolatry as some ancient thingโgolden calves and carved images, right? ๐โ๏ธ
But modern idols look more like ๐ธ money, ๐ vanity, ๐ฑ phones, ๐ฟ Netflix, ๐ผ careers, ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ gym bodies, ๐ cars, ๐ escape drugs, and ๐ secret sin.
๐ If it takes more of your attention, affection, energy, and devotion than Godโit’s an idol.
Letโs be real: what do you run to first? What do you cling to for identity, validation, peace, or purpose?
๐ โLittle children, keep yourselves from idols.โ โ 1 John 5:21
๐ โSet your affection on things above…โ โ Colossians 3:2
๐ โWhere your treasure is, there will your heart be also.โ โ Matthew 6:21
๐ฅ Itโs not just about what we say we worshipโit’s about what our hearts, time, and habits truly honor.
๐ Ask yourself today:
โ Is my heart bowed to God or to goals?
โ Is my joy built on Jesus or on things that can be taken away?
๐งโโ๏ธ Letโs smash the secret altars.
Letโs crown the real King again.
No more chasing counterfeit glory.
1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
๐ฅ Jesus is worthy of first place. Always.
