Dirty Issue #2

Dirty Issue #2: Idols (v. 3)
Nevertheless he continued in the sins of idolatry that Jeroboam son of Nebat had led the people of Israel to commit.

We have some idols now or we've had them before!  Is it your spouse? Or your children? Or the house and cars?  Is it the initials before or after your name?  Or maybe even the church you attend or ministry you're doing?  Is it blogging, facebook-ing, tweet-ing, etc.? 

What takes up your time, talents, and treasure? Take a look at your calendar, your spent energy, your finances.  If you really study what you find, you can identify if and what idols are in your life.  Idols don't have life and cannot give life.  But Jesus lives and He has life and can give life. 

Keep Jesus first in your life.  To be honest, He doesn't deserve to be anywhere else on anyone's list of "priorities".  After what He went thru and did for us, its shameful for us to peg him anywhere below #1 on our list.  "Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out..." - Matthew 6:33 (The Message)
