Yes, I did. And those words were just as hard for me to say as they were for some to hear. For my words must match my actions, too, and they do not yet. Here's some more on idols by Justin Buzzard.
"Everyone has to live for something and if that something isn’t the one true God, it will be a false God–an idol.
An idol is anything more important to you than God. Therefore, you can turn even very good things into idols. You can turn a good thing like family, success, acceptance, money, your plans, etc. into a god thing–into something you worship and place at the center of your life.
This is what sin is. Sin is building your life and meaning on anything (even a good thing) more than God.
CONTROL. You know you have a control idol if your greatest nightmare is uncertainty.
APPROVAL. You know you have an approval idol if your greatest nightmare is rejection.
COMFORT. You know you have a comfort idol if your greatest nightmare is stress/demands.
POWER. You know you have a power idol if your greatest nightmare is humiliation.
Here’s what you need to know about your idol: That idol that you love, it doesn’t love you back. False gods don’t love you. Idols don’t keep their promises. Anything you worship and build your life on other than God will suck the life out of you and destroy you."
