Thank you so very much for your testimony and insights!

Certainly ANYTHING AND ANYONE that takes PRIORITY over God Almighty, Our Lord Jesus, His Spirit--has assumed an idol's place in our lives...

And what seems to be so very difficult to get across effectively is that COMFORT is a very short step from idolatry. Taking UNDUE, UNFITTING COMFORT in else but GOD IS idolatry.

Indeed. It is so important, but I wonder how many realize it - moreover, realize it and do something about it? It's the camel and the eye of the needle problem.

INDEED.

It’s also the camel nose under the tent problem. Sigh.

God have mercy on me a sinner. Pull out by the roots ANY AND EVERYTHING that is less than your Highest, Oh, Lord. In Jesus’ Name.
