"Idol" Time!

Romans 12: 2          NKJV

² And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...

The above verse of scripture dominated a good share of our Adult Bible study discussion yesterday (Tuesday) morning.

The words “warfare” and “battle” seem to be fairly consistent metaphors in our walk of faith.

What does spiritual warfare look like in your life?

How does it take root, and how is it manifested?

For me, it seems to be what I do or don’t in my idle time, or should I say, “idol” time.

Maybe this is the reason that so many followers of Jesus, struggle in their walk of faith.

So what do you fill your idle/idol time with?

I mean let’s face it, we all deserve to be entertained in one way or another...right?

Maybe we’ve allowed our minds to be conformed to the values of this world?

Can you identify with a time waster? Is there something that get’s in the way of your personal Bible study or prayer time?

Facebook...Twitter...Internet...Snap Chat...E-mail...I-Phone...Text Messaging...Politics...Election...Fantasy Football...Hunting...Crafts...School Activities...Bowling League...

Let’s face it...the list above almost seems endless.

I wonder if the church should take a stronger stance in teaching it’s people about the potential dangers of “idol” time?

On second thought...Why in the world would we want to offend anyone?!?

Does your “idol” time help conform you into the image of Christ, or into the image of this world?

Admittedly...that’s a pretty tough question...
