No Other Gods (Part 4) by Don Campbell

We worship whatever it is we deem to be most essential for life and happiness. 

If something becomes so important to me that it drives my behavior and commands my emotions, I am worshipping it.

"Things like worry, fear, sadness, and depression are 'smoke from the fires' rising from the altars of our idolatry."  

~ St. Augustine

Colossians 3:5-6

Idolatry = "Whatever belongs to your earthly nature"

James 4:3-5

Adulterous Prayers

We are adulterers to God when we demand that He give us things so we may find happiness, contentment, and security in them RATHER than in Him.

We weren't created for another human being, we were created for God

Isaiah 43:7
"Whom I created for my Glory, whom I formed and made"

For a better life, Choose Jesus

Ultimately idolatry is behind all of our sin; when we place greater weight on something other than God.

James 4:3-5

Adulterous Prayers

Adulterer =  someone who finds in another the intimacy they should be finding in their spouse.

We are adulterers to God when we demand that He give us things so we may find happiness, contentment, and security in them RATHER than in Him.
