When we hear the word "idol," many of us think of a statue that one worships and/or reminds them of a great religious leader. In ancient times, Kings were thought of as gods and insisted their people make worship icons in their own image. Today our idols are more subtle. They are packaged in who we are, what we do, what we spend and the things that give us the greatest pleasure. The Bible surprisingly teaches that while God commands we don't make up statues of who he is he has provided an image of himself. We are that image! And when we are spirit filled, his glory shines for all to see.
