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

Extremely Disturbing Idolatry Detector Test
The Hebrew word for Glory is "kabod". It literally means "weight".
"Things like worry, fear, sadness, and depression are 'smoke from the fires' rising from the altars of our idolatry."
~ St. Augustine
Idolatry = "Whatever belongs to your earthly nature"
Ultimately idolatry is behind all of our sin; when we place greater weight on something other than God.
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.
