Idols

        Often times when we think of idols, we think of a gold statue or something in a foreign country. But simply stated, an idol is simply something that we place higher in our lives than we place God. Satan tries to blind us from seeing things in our lives as idols. He tries to make us believe that it isn't really an idol, its just entertainment. Here is a good video clip on American Idols.

Satan wants to destroy you. He wants to see you waste your life. He wants to see you make checking your texts or going on Facebook a higher priority in your life then spending time with God. He wants to see you waste the time God has given you on earth. I'm not saying that checking your phone or going on Facebook is bad, it just becomes an idol when you give it more energy then you give God. So use the things or objects that God has given you not as idols. But use Facebook or texting or whatever form of entertainment in such a way that it will be plain to the world that those things are not your idol, Christ is. So give God your all, because in the end, the only thing that will stand is God. So make spending time with God your number one priority, and not things of this world.
