From the article:
“If we say we worship God but put our trust in bank accounts, homes, businesses, and organizations, then we are idolaters”

Say whaa . . . ?

Do we worship those bank accounts, homes, businesses and organizations? No? Then it’s not idolatry, is it? What exactly would Lori have us do? Move back out to the desert? I worship God over all of those things, but I think there’s room for both God and bank accounts in my life. And yes, I worry about money! That makes me smart and responsible, not idolatrous.

You are not an idolater. An idolater places those things above their relationship with God. Those listed items are indeed idols to many people, along with numerous other things, or people. We all have need of bank accounts, jobs, homes and such, but they must have their proper place in the list of priorities, after God.
