A Whole God: Idolatry

Bruce S. Bertram of The Word of God Ministries and http://www.wholebible.com shows in this video that idolatry is alive and well in modern times, even if we think we don't have statues in the living room. Here is a whole Bible definition of idolatry that will perhaps rock your current thinking. More information is available at www.wholebible.com and in a draft of our book titled Whole Bible Christianity on the site too.
We might comfort ourselves that we are not idolaters because we don't have a statue in the living room (let's overlook the crucifix, Christmas tree, Easter eggs and bunnies for now). But idolatry is not limited to actual images. Paul says that covetousness is idolatry (Ephesians 5:5). God says the Chaldeans worship their own might, Jesus says that Mammon is a god, and Paul says that some people have their belly as their god (Philippians 3:19). And don't even get me started on American Idol. If we reject His ways and go our own way, even in the smallest thing, it's idolatry.
The statue in the center of disobedience is the self-image. A 3-D statue is really self-will personified. Idolatry comes from inside, from the heart. The statue just gives it a physical shape. Adam and Eve were booted out of paradise, not because they bowed to an image, but because they bowed to self-will and knowledge. Obedience is worship. Their obedience to their own understanding was just the same as worshipping a statue of themselves.
