today I passed by an alter to an idol. I'm in thailand for a couple of weeks and I never fail to be shocked when I see them... often praying "Lord save these people" but today it occurred to me "Lord forgive US of OUR idols... save US" because while I dont build mine of brick and mortar, i still build them...

Very insightful, it doesn't have to be a statue to be an idol. Anything we put before the Lord is one.
