Are you a Christian? Still Worshipping Idols?

Which God in your life takes all your time?

In ancient biblical times the people often worshipped idols. Even in Paul’s time the people often worshipped idols. It’s so good to know we of the modern world have progressed to the point we don’t worship idols. Or do we? Track you time and activity this week. How much time do you spend watching TV? Following football? Worshipping God?

Judge the idol you worship by the time and money you spend with each. Where your heart is where your time is. Unfortunately most Christians have fallen into the cultural trap and devote their time to worshipping cultural idols. It’s all easy to say God is first but who really puts him first?

Track your time this week or look at last week. How much time is spent praying? Reading the bible? Attending church? Now how much time is spent surfing the internet? Watching TV? Following your football team? Want to get really upset. Now track your wallet for the same activities. It may not be a gold cow on your mantle but most of us have fallen into the trap and are worshipping other idols with our time. And money.

I’m not judging college football as being evil on its merit. But I am saying it’s an issue when the average American male spends 21 hours per week following football while the average American male spends 45 minutes in worshipping his God. Even for a devout Christian the odds are that he spends far more time in front of a display screen that in front of a bible. And so we have set our priorities wrong – we need to put God first in our lives; in our outlook calendar; in our schedule and in our activities. Or we are as guilty as the golden calf worshippers – spending our time with the wrong idols.
