God hates idolatry! What is idolatry? Idolatry is having another god (or gods) besides the one true living God of the Bible. Idolatry is anything that you place higher priority in your life than God and His Commandments. There is ONLY one true and living God, i.e., the God of the Bible...
“But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.” —Jeremiah 10:10
God must be extremely jealous and angry nowadays, because Americans sit in front of their TV's hours each day, viewing all forms of wickedness and evil. Without a doubt, the most popular god in the United States is the almighty television set. People usually think of "idolatry" in terms of bowing to an idol or an object (such as the sun). You don't have to bow to something to commit idolatry. In fact, idolatry is anything in your life that replaces God.
So many people today only think in terms of what they've heard on TV, kind of like a life-support system. The average American is woefully ignorant of THE TRUTH, because they have deliberately rejected the knowledge of God. Just as the Children of Israel committed idolatry in the wilderness, worshipping the golden calf, so do Americans today worship the television and enjoy watching others commit sexual immorality (Romans 1:32). I assure you that Americans spend more time in front of the television than does any worshipper of a graven image. People who would never give a dime to further the Gospel of Christ or feed the poor, will happily spend thousands-upon-thousands of dollars on pin stripes, chrome, fancy hub caps, tinted windows, designer windshield wipers, extravagant paint jobs, deluxe stereo systems, and just about everything else imaginable FOR THEIR CAR. But what about the work of God? What about the poor? What about the hungry? What about the homeless? What about the forgotten people?
