American Idolatry

I can say (being absolutely convinced that it’s true), that Jesus is first in my life and that I desire to know Him more intimately and see people changed by His love. The problem is that my life so often proves me to be a liar (whether I am convinced of it or not). I find that idolatry seems to hide itself very well in my life. And it is always hidden to the degree that I can look at someone else and see their idol, and totally miss the fact that I am worshiping mine at the moment that I spotted theirs.

Mark Driscoll has a story that lends an interesting perspective to our American culture. Watch the video below and, if you can (without proving yourself to be a liar as well), tell me that you are not guilty of idolatry from time to time. I am sure that if you are anything like me, you struggle with this issue a lot. And, if you aren’t like me and you don’t struggle with idolatry at all, let me know your secret (you know, outside of moving into a cave all by myself and drinking well water and eating bugs). I’m sure there is some middle ground, Jesus help me find it.
