Idolatry

Hope you had a good 4th.... Though I've been exposed to the idea of "idolatry" for years... I continue to see how amazing it is as a summary of what's wrong with me (and you!) and how useful it is in understanding sin. Here's a quote from an excellent & brief article by Tim Keller:

The Bible, then, does not consider idolatry to be one sin among many (and a rare sin found only among primitive people). Rather, all our failures to trust God wholly or to live rightly are at root idolatry—something we make more important than God. There is always a reason for a sin. Under our sins are idolatrous desires.
