Exodus 20:3-4
You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
Throughout life, we sometimes all tend to fade away from God. Of course, it's our human nature. So we have this space in our heart that is only fit for God to fill. A God shaped hole you might say. So if we stray, we try to fill that hole with other things such as the greed for money, lust, other gods, different religions, etc. They become our idols. It doesn't seem like we necessarily worship them but they become our life so we do pretty much worship them since our lives revolve around them. God doesn't like that. In the next verse God says to not worship those things because He's a jealous God. He wants us to love Him. If you want here's some extra time in the Word: Exodus 20:1-17

but youre right, people worship things without knowing it sometimes.
hey i have a better answer to that question you were asking last nite. the one thing i hate about being a christian is the pressure with everything youre supposed to be doing right, or how youre supposed to always look at people through the Lord's eyes. yeah and save people. i think that's what i meant to say but i finally figured out a way to actually SAY it ;]
wow its allysa and mines and bex personal blog page. yeah i completely agree. the aloha kins spirit is to always get stuff, and most Hawaii based Christians suffer from that problem (no offense to all of us). but everyone's "god" in hawaii is always gettin the latest, collest gear. that or sex :/
