Do we still worship idols today? Absolutely. In this episode, Nick discusses what the 5 most common idols are to the modern Christians of today. Instead of having false gods, statues, and other entities than our one true God; we now have many other things that take His place in our lives. Many of these modern false idols are subtle and we don't even realize we are worshipping them!
We often hear misquoted that "Money is the root of all evil" when in reality that is false. The Bible says "The love of money" is. Money is an idol, especially in wealthy countries like the United States that can become a false idol. We crave working more, becoming rich, and living in a mansion but at the cost of our time and commitment to God. Some people allow this love to take place over God and church in their lives.
Technology in our day is common throughout life. It can be a great blessing but can turn into an idol if we are not careful. Binge watching Netflix or playing video games for hours at a time when neglecting your Bible and prayer time? That is an idol in your life.
Other idols can include fame, status, success, possessions, and affiliation. Affiliation we see more in our modern church and is growing into a major divide! What denomination, what music style to do prefer, what church leader do we study after, what political party are we with and the list goes on.Tune in to hear Nick's discussion of the 5 idols of the modern church!
