not IF but WHAT

Our soul-thirst is powerful, and it makes all of us idolaters.  

To be sure, not many of my contemporaries bow before actual pagan altars.  Nevertheless, the Bible sees idolatry as a universal problem.  To be alive is to be an idolater.  One of the most basic questions in spiritual formation must be "What am I doing about my idols?" not "Do I have any idols?"
