The Bible cautions us about turning things into idols – putting our faith in objects or people and elevating them to the status of God. While it’s easy to recognize a golden calf that someone else has built, it’s harder to see our own tendency to create idols. In what or whom do you put your faith? Where do you draw the line between showing something respect and making it into an idol?
