Modern idolatry extends beyond physical statues to anything that takes God's rightful place in our lives. It manifests through impatience with God's timing, grumbling about circumstances, and seeking fulfillment outside of Him. While believers cannot be demon-possessed, divided loyalties can open doors to spiritual influence. True joy and satisfaction can only be found by giving complete devotion to God and actively fleeing from the subtle idols that compete for our allegiance.
Paul writes to the Corinthian church with all its messiness and disunity, they can be the representation of Christ to the world in which they live. The current church isn't much different. Will we allow Christ to reign in our lives or will we allow Satan to knock us off of our task?
