As a car guy, I never thought a car could become an idol. Until I bought a Ford Fiesta ST. The most fun thing I ever bought with money. I had owned 57 cars, before I bought it. I had plenty of opportunities to turn a car into an idol, never a problem before. It became my drug of choice. An adrenaline needle. My family left for a week, and the Holy Spirit went to work. After many tears, and discussions - I said OK God I will sell it. One of the hardest things I have had to do.
Money,cars,homes, landownership, position , status, power, influence and greed, and looking up to others for our source of joy, security, to meet our emotional needs, has become the idols for many.
This is really a message that confronts us. There are idols in our life. How many times can we be idolizing so many things without realizing it. Glory to God for this wonderful sermon
Psalm 37:25-I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Genesis 22:14…The LORD will provide. Thank you Jesus for all your promises. You alone are our true source.
I know God is in charge; my eyes are set on him, and I'm waiting to see what his next move will be. I could have listened to this sermon for two hours, for sure. Thank you, Pastor Tony. God Bless.
Thank you Dr. Evans for this message. If there is no GOD (JESUS CHRIST) there is no hope no peace no blessings. So don’t look or ask for anything from the most high GOD.
I’ve been a part from god forway to long pastor Tony evans knowing that the Holy Spirit speaks to me and your words have just strickens me back to enlightenment with his word with the word of god and I thank you for that pastor the way your preach is enlightening and full of the Holy Spirit love you pastor 🙏

My problem is turning my love interests into idols. I lose appetite for godly things and only want to fixate on them and the r/shp. I try using willpower to not to too far but idolatry is more in the heart than it is in physical manifestations 😢 How can I be in love while still keeping God in His rightful place?
PUFFED-UP: If Christ describe someone as puffed up, He disapprove of them because they are very PROUD of THEMSELVES and think that they are very important. How can a Christian possibly LIVE by Godly FAITH (if) he or she is NOT being tested with hard difficult trials that WILL definitely present themselves periodically, as they continue walking with Christ?.......because it is an absolute must that they do continue TRUSTING in Christ, in order to validate what the prophet Habakkuk had spoken over the people of God in the second chapter of Habakkuk! (Hebrews 11:6) 📖 Habakkuk 2:3-5 📖 3) For the revelation awaits an APPOINTED time; it speaks of the end and WILL NOT prove false. Though it linger, WAIT for it; it will CERTAINLY come and will NOT delay. 4) See, the ENEMY is PUFFED UP; his desires are NOT upright, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS (saved) PERSON WILL LIVE by His (God's) faithfulness. 5) indeed, WEALTH betrays him; he is ARROGANT and NEVER at rest. Because he is as GREEDY as the grave and like death is NEVER satisfied, he gathers to himself ALL the nations (different people) and takes captive all the peoples. You see?......as a TRUE child of God, you WILL become TOTALLY DESTITUTE at certain seasons in your life from relying upon other resources for your $upport, other than to trust in Christ and LIVE BY GOD'S FAITHFULNESS. 😁 📖 Habakkuk 3:17 -18 📖 17) Though the fig tree does NOT bud and there are NO grapes on the vines, though the olive crop FAILS and the fields produce NO food, though there are NO sheep in the pen and NO cattle in the stalls, 18) yet I WILL rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. With the same FAITH that saved you, it must be LIVED out in order to keep you saved. (Hebrews 10:38) 😁 Sent with much love, take care and God bless ❤️🙏🏾
A narcissist can make a trauma bond with her victim of my son and because of that control for so long she is his idol, he's afraid to make a move because she is so abuse fulfilled. Please pray for my son to see the light, break the trauma bond and make him see the light.
That is not an idol that child is making . It called attachment blinded of abuse brainswashed from the trauma people cause . Idolization is different just figuring out .
Dr. Evans, am I still considered a fool if I've been praying and giving my cares to God FIRST, but then I emailed my id protection agency to inform them as to what was happening? Is it okay to ask the church for discipleship classes and food? That seems wrong, I guess? I'm just so unbelievably frustrated when I had money for an important bill and now it will ruin my credit, leaving me immobilized and stuck in a bad situation with no escape. I know I need to be still and wait patiently for the Lord. Have I cancelled out what God is doing? I haven't spoken to the church yet. God has always provided when I'm starving. Is it okay to ask for assistance from a food bank? Or just wait?
God uses others to step in and help in dire need. The Lord God says, you have not because you ask not. Don't be ashamed if once in a while you have to ask for help.
The idols of the nations are high and lifted up on a flag pole, and the blind cannot see them because of their UNBELIEF! The star spangle of heaven is the the god of the US. The star remphan of heaven is the god of Israel. [ Acts 7:43 ] The sun of heaven is the god of Japan. The leaf of the maple tree of the earth is the god of Canada. The eagle of the earth is the god of Mexico. Some nations are worshipping the stars, the moon, and the sun. And others are worshipping birds and four footed beasts of the earth. The idols of wood and stone, were replaced with idols of fabric. The nations made carved images, in the likeness of heaven above, and in the likeness of the earth below, and set the images in the flags, to serve them. Idolatry is through the pledge of allegiance to the flag and anthem. When the nations play the anthem at the sound of music the idol worshippers stand on their feet and praise their idols of the flag with a song. When the king of Babylon the great played the anthem at the sound of music the idol worshippers bowed down to the ground and worshipped the image of the gold statue of the earth. God is against serving or pledging allegiance to OBJECTS, to SYMBOLS, and IMAGES, made in the likeness of anything in heaven above, or made in the likeness of anything in the earth below. [ Exodus 20:3-5 ] & [ Deuteronomy 4:15-19 ] Flags are OBJECTS. Symbols are OBJECTS. Images are OBJECTS.

Thank you for listening and being obedient.
this sermon opens our eyes to a reality that is often disguised and we don't realize
Money,cars,homes, landownership, position , status, power, influence and greed, and looking up to others for our source of joy, security, to meet our emotional needs, has become the idols for many.
Idols are such an easy trap to fall into. Most folks dont realize that idols can be a lot of things.
Wise words from you, may it be a warning to all of us.
Powerful definition!!!!
An IDOL is a Noun-(person, place, thing or thought) that you look to as your SOURCE to meet your need.
I agree! The definition he gave helps us better understand and identify the idols in our lives.
@Gotejando a Palavra Amen!!! The "thought" is what shook me🤯🤯🤯 We have to guard ALL gates: ear, eye, heart, and mind!!!
This is really a message that confronts us. There are idols in our life. How many times can we be idolizing so many things without realizing it. Glory to God for this wonderful sermon
