Idols

Recently I have been listening to "Clear the Stage" by Ross King. It is a song that really points out all the things we Idol. Which we shouldn't do. He says "Anything I want with all my heart is an Idol. Anything I can't stop thinking of is an Idol. Anything I give all my love, is an Idol. We Must not worship something that is not even worth it. Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze if thats the measure you must take to crush the idols." He goes on to point out the following things we idolize: Sports, Money, Fame, Success, Television, Fashion, Career, Family, Power, Self, lust, Populariy, Exercise and the internet. These are just a few. I find I love so many of them such as Family, sports, money and exercise. I also... LOVE my car. Do I Idol them? Ross sings these lyrics in his song; "Shine the light on every corner of your life until the pride and lust and lies are in the open. Then read the word and put to thest the things you've heard until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken."
So... I guess perhaps it just made me think of the things that we sometime idolize...

"Clear the Stage" possibly the best lyrics of any modern song.

"Take a break from all the plans that you've made and sit at home alone and wait for God to whisper. Then beg Him please to open up His mouth and speak, then pray for real upon your knees until they blister."

wow. well done mr. king.
