To introduce this topic I mention again that idolatry is part of every person's life, every community's life and every nation's life. In fact, the whole human race is involved in a struggle between worship of the living God and worship of dead idols. Worship is natural to the human condition. In the beginning man turned his worship away from God to a god-substitute by changing the truth about God into a lie and resorting to the worship of the creaturely. Christians cannot imagine that they are exempt from the ravages of idolatry (see 1 Cor 7.14; Col 3.5; 1 John 5.21). Idolatry involves putting our TRUST in something that is created which can never bear the load of our full trust. Only the Creator of all things seen and unseen is worthy of our trust.
we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen --Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles
