The Worst “Idolatry”

In some respects this may be the worst “idolatry” of all, that a man may make a “god” of himself: that he may think first and chiefly of himself, study his own interests and happiness, and love himself supremely.

It has been well said: “It is no difficult matter to keep from dead idols, but take heed that you worship not the living ones, and especially yourself; for as soon as you attribute to yourself either honor, or praise, or knowledge, or power, you set yourself in the place of God, and He has declared that He will not give His glory to another (Isa 48:11).”
