Do you struggle because of situations or people that weigh you down? How can you get help? This book can help you gain victory over the stressful circumstances in your life. God wants to make you into his victor instead of being a victim. Using easy-to-read language with a generous dose of humor, the author explains and applies the Bible to everyone's daily life. As a result, God can enable you overcome the many false gods that creep into your life from your culture. The study has discussion questions for groups and practical steps you can follow to help you run on your journey with Jesus toward every believer's goal, final perfection after death.Notice the following review by Rev. 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. Your study is very compelling and is needed for such a time as this."

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.

In today's world, it's easy to get caught up in pursuing the things of this world and losing sight of our faith. We may not realize it, but our constant pursuit of money, career success, relationships, and other things can easily turn into idols that take priority over God. As a result, we may find ourselves trapped in a cycle of sin and spiritual emptiness. The Bible tells us that God is a jealous God and idolatry is a betrayal of His love and authority. In the book of Exodus, the children of Israel made a golden calf as an idol, and this angered God. We may think that we are immune to falling into the trap of idolatry, but the truth is that it can happen to anyone. In this book, "The Idols Must Fall: Dethroning Modern-Day Gods through Spiritual Warfare," we will explore the topic of idolatry and how it can keep us from experiencing the abundant life that God has promised us. We will discuss the different forms that idolatry can take in our lives, and how we can recognize and dethrone these idols. We will also examine the consequences of idolatry, both in this life and in the afterlife, and how we can avoid these consequences by prioritizing God in our lives. Through this book, we will gain a deeper understanding of the dangers of idolatry and how to overcome it through spiritual warfare. Idolatry can take many forms, from the pursuit of material possessions and wealth to the obsession with social media and technology, from the desire for success and recognition to the search for love and relationships, and from the preoccupation with physical appearance and body image to the attachment to political ideology, sports, entertainment, celebrities, and movie stars. Whatever the object of our idolatry, the consequences can be severe: a distorted sense of self-worth, a damaged relationship with God, a lack of contentment and joy, a life filled with anxiety and stress, and a future that is uncertain and bleak. But there is hope. In the art of spiritual warfare, we can learn how to dethrone the idols in our lives and restore our relationship with God. By recognizing the signs of idolatry, confessing our sins, renewing our minds, and putting our trust in God, we can experience the abundant life that God has promised us. This book is a call to action for all those who are ready to take up the sword of the spirit and fight against the powers of darkness. It is a guidebook for those who are seeking to live a life of holiness and righteousness, free from the bondage of sin and the lure of idolatry. So let us join together in this fight, with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, and let us walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, who will guide us into all truth and lead us into victory. Let us dive in and discover the art of spiritual warfare and how to avoid going a-whoring after other gods.

Idolatry--is it simply the worship of images, or is it something more profound in its essence? You will discover that the problem of idolatry has been buried under layers of nescience across the span of millennia. Even in biblical, Old Testament times, people seldom understood what idolatry truly is. The resulting complacency has led millions into a spiritual comatose. This book will help you enter into a vibrant relationship with God, unhindered by parasitic idolatry. And We Shall Be Gods seeks to expose the heart of idolatry--the center of all evil--and gives you the tools and guidance needed to recognize and defeat this cunning construct devised by the enemy of man and God. This book has been written to inform you, the reader, that both religious and secular worlds have fallen prey to the pursuit of self, which is exactly where the father of lies wants the world to be.

The preponderance and influences of religions in our world need not be established. Religions are largely represented in two categories of fundamental beliefs regarding the deity: those who claim monotheism and polytheists. If there is a single common thread between all religions, it is that they are all founded on at least some elements of beliefs that defy logic. Those unexplainable beliefs are accepted as faith by their devotees. If this observation is correct, one has to reflect on a few basic questions. If intelligent supernatural forces created humans, they are also the creators of logic. This suggests that the religions of our world should not be short on logic, but a simple analysis of their beliefs appear to show otherwise. The same could be said of the monotheist God; why does he expect a persons faith to be founded on elements lacking sound logic? The author answers the question in a rather surprising way. The lack of logic is only due to human interference in the affairs of God. The divine system designed to regenerate love originally created in the human heart has been corrupted beyond recognition. This book is a search for Gods rational plan of action to help humans grow true love in their hearts.

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!

The human fascination with images, and the idolatry or idolization of images as the source of desire, passion and terror, is treated in this book. The first part enters more deeply into religious idolatry, past and present. It treats the biblical, the early-Jewish as well as the Christian views on monotheism and the prohibition against images, as source of authentic humanism or as source of intolerance and violence. In the second part, the focus shifts onto a number of contemporary, profane idols and gods: the nationalist fascination for one's own land and people, and the fear or hate towards foreigners; the rampant preoccupation with (genetic) health, in a context of body culture and aestheticization, of which the postmodern sport idols have become the great 'icons'; the current image- and screen-culture and all forms of audiovisual exorcisms; and last but not least the ongoing process of economization and globalization, with an expanding culture of 'branding' logos.
