The Scriptures states, "I am the Lord thy God, thou shall have no other gods before me." Jesus stated in Matthew 7:24, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."
I personally believe one of the greatest sins affecting the church today is the sin of idolatry. An idol is anything we place ahead of God and His service. Many Christians are allowing things and people to crowd out their worship and service to the Lord. Are you the type of person that reads your Bible or comes to church only after everything else is done first? Do you spend more time on the Internet or wathcing television than in the Bible reading and prayer? Do you allow sports, recreation or some hobby to take precedence over your service to the Lord? We must return to our first love, Jesus! Confess and forsake all forms of idolatry. Be determined not allow anything to come before your devotion to the Lord.
