No Other Gods (Part 2) 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."

Colossians 3:5-6

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.
