1JO 5:21
Children, keep yourselves from idols.
1 John 5:21
But we live in a “Christian” country! Why would we need a warning like this? Christian country or not, we live in a society of people that encourages idol worship. And probably the biggest idols that will occupy your time and energy are education, money and sports - not necessarily in that order. Music is another one. Anything that comes between you and the Lord is an idol. In God’s eyes you will be an idolatrous person - very hateful to God. Watch out!
