Idols in our lives are like the spirit of slavery, when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt they desired above the Promised Land the servant hood to Egyptians. They said to him, we were fed with onions, melons and leeks which were not theirs but belonged to the Egyptians or the devil in short, for they served foreign gods. It mean they were satisfied with seeing the great things of the Egyptian and being given the rejects of the onions and leeks were satisfied with the little that was of the abundance that did not belong to them. It means Israel in slavery got used to admiring and growing other people's things. They did not get used to building or erecting anything that is theirs. They did not want to build their own big houses, even when they were fed with manna from heaven, though heavenly and superior to human food, they desired flesh and melons. For whatever was rightfully theirs, they attached it to inferiority as the inferiors of Egypt. They failed to see themselves as giants of the land of Canaan. They desired flesh of this world instead of manna from heaven so they became a burden not just to themselves but even to Moses their leader. Numbers 11:10-14/KJV Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased. And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? And wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers? Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. The slave mentality does not just burden the bearer but even their leader. It teaches one to be a parasite, to be dependent on their leader even for things they can do themselves. It taught the Israelites not to set traps and catch food but rather look unto Moses, this is a spirit that must be dealt with and cast out of any congregation of Christ, we must not build idols of hope or providence to ourselves or our brothers. We are not to idolise our leaders or our provision. For when we build idols for our provision or faith we fail to focus on God because we know there is something between you and God. They used to being fed and limited to their masters' provision. They were the left over specialists of Egypt and so it settled in them that they are not supposed to have but rather to be parasites of their masters. They did not want to build their own church, their own houses, and their own societies but wanted to be slaves and be temporary occupants of everything. Even now a church that does not want to grow and become does the same thing. They do not read the word for themselves but depend on the pastor. They do not want the signs to follow them but their pastor. They do not want to give birth to the young but their pastor and so it is all about their pastor and they end up idolising him/her and so make him an idol that diverts them from God.

When we hear the word 'idol' we tend to think of football players or pop stars. We may even remember that some people's religion meant worshipping idols: little or large statues that represented a god. But what has this to do with us today? Julian Hardyman is increasingly convinced that idolatry putting anything else in the place that is rightfully God's explains us and our problems: Why we get so angry about traffic jams. What drives us to work so hard our marriage hits the rocks. What lies behind that compulsion to look at pornography. He has also found that God is engaged in a war to win back our hearts. CONTENTS Introduction: God's battle for our hearts Part One: Who has idols anyway? 1. Idol diagnosis 2. Needs or preferences? 3. More and more and more 4. Lust 5. Beauty and body image 6.

Why is it that so many of us settle for a less-than-satisfying Christian life? We suffer the symptoms—spiritual dryness, dissatisfaction, and unanswered prayers—of a yet-unidentified problem that creates an obstacle between God and us. We seem unable to connect the dots between our symptoms and the problem causing them: God is no longer first in our hearts. Pastor Dennis Newkirk tells the story of how God showed their church what their problem was—God was no longer first in their hearts. Newkirk brings experience and a pastor’s heart as he teaches us about the dangers of modern-day idolatry. But he also offers hope by showing us how to deal with our idols and the reward of doing so. The four-step pattern God uses to call hearts back to him isn’t some cookie-cutter approach, but seeing the steps spelled out can help Christians recognize how God might be applying them in his or her life. Examining our own lives before God and admitting that our hearts have strayed isn’t easy, and it is most certainly humbling. But that’s what God wants—a humbled, repentant person standing before Him and willing to be used in service for Him. For the sincere Christian who wants an answer to the question “Is there more to the Christian life?” No gods but God will provide an answer.

An idol is a good thing. It is good because God created it. Nothing exists that God did not create and God created all things good. So sex can be an idol, but before it was an idol it was a good creation of God. Materialism is an idol, but to have a material world was God's idea in the first place. Workaholism is an idol, but work is itself a good gift of God. What turns these good gifts of God into idols is what we have done with them. So we have common forms of idolatry expressed in consumerism, individualism, narcissism, careerism, and hedonism; while there are less familiar expressions found in omnism, fatalism, Gnosticism, relativism, positivism, and reductionism. We have put these and other things on a pedestal and made them into mini-gods. In the end they fail to deliver what they promise. These twelve mediations on a scriptural passage by faculty members of Wycliffe College, Toronto, emphasize that the good news is that God can redeem idols. Each one can be restored to its proper place in God's created order and placed under God's authority.

Addictionsto drugs, alcohol, pornography, nicotine, caffeine, gambling, shopping, internet surfing (Webaholism), and much morecontrol lives. These lifestyle sins rob people of the lives God intended for them. Jesus promised in John 10:10 that He had come to give abundant life. This abundant life cannot be realized when there are patterns of habitual sin controlling the heart. The Bible calls these patterns idols, and the problem is actually a worship disorder. We were created to worship only God, so when we begin to worship at another altar, we allow demonic bondage into our hearts. How can people overcome these addictions that grip so tightly? The author presents a clear biblical presentation, along with his personal life experiences, to help you cast down those idols once and for all. You can live a victorious Christian life!

Jack Stulp, retired pastor and home-missions administrator: "Having read 'Overcome Modern Idols, ' I appreciate that it's not merely a collection of the author's opinions. It is full of Scripture that is quoted and is expounded. Author Leiter is impressed with our Lord's wisdom and seeks to share it."This book does not take the common approach of naming things that people accept as idols, like money. Reflecting much thinking and meditation, this book gets us to think of ways that people come up with distorted and wrong ideas of what God is like and then worship these distorted concepts, which are false gods. I found it helpful and am pleased to recommend this book to others."The following review is from Judy Dunnagan, a Moody Publishers editor: "We can tell that this message is very near and dear to your heart.
