What are you allowing to consume or become an idol to you?

My Friend,
What have you allowed to consume or become and idol to you? What have you allowed to get in the way of your relationship with The Lord or become more important than God? 
 
Money, riches, fame, health, and more can consume people or become a "god" in their lives. If we're not careful, we can all fall prey to empty pursuits and idol worship.  
 
It also doesn't help that many "teachers" and "preachers" encourage the flock they are entrusted with serving to seek after riches and in the process, they lose sight of the One who is their true provider and source of eternal riches.
 
We are commanded to have no other "gods" in place of the One True God, and whether we realize it or not, the pursuit of money, riches, success, health, and more, can become our "god". 
It's not bad to have or be blessed with riches but you can't let it or anything else consume you. Especially, don’t allow yourself to love money or anything more than God!
 
Take time to read, study, and take to heart 1 Timothy 6:10, Matthew 22:37, Matthew 6:21,  Matthew 19:24, and Exodus 20:3 for starters. 
 
Don't love money or anything else more than God and make sure you don't have any other "gods" in your life other than Him, The One True God! 
 
God deserves all of you, not just part. So, love Him, seek Him, and serve Him with all your heart, soul, and mind!  
 
You're in my prayers.
Your brother and servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch

The Idolatry of Modesty

Hello,

Read this article on modesty and then let me know your thoughts.

The Idolatry of Modesty | JEFFBETHKE.COM

I think modesty is important and he makes some good points about this and realize that anything about our faith can become an Idol if we let it.

Actually anything that takes our heart or focus away from Christ our Lord can become and Idol so we need to approach everything prayerfully with wisdom and through the lens of scripture.

More to share later but for now, read this blog post from Jeff Bethke and come back and leave a comment here.

Blessings,
