Can a ministry become an idol? While this may not apply to everyone; YES Ministry can become an idol. If we are not careful, our temptation is to look for that validation and satisfaction apart from Christ. For many Christian leaders, ministry becomes a substitute Saviour. This is ministry idolatry. It is spiritualised workaholism and enjoying Jesus is the only way to overcome it.
An idol is anything that replaces the one, true God in our lives. Normally, we think of idolatry as involving statues, bank accounts, or some type of material possession. But even our service to the Lord can become an idol. If we allow our work for the Lord to become more important than our fellowship with the Lord, we are guilty of ministry idolatry.
Ministry idolatry is the unguarded heart wandering from the “Lord of the work” to embrace the “work of the Lord.” How does it happen? Ministry idolatry occurs when we delight more in what God is doing through us than what He has done, is doing, and will do in glory (see Romans 8:28–30). Christ is not just a person we serve; He is our very life (Colossians 3:4)!
@JPuncut Don't give up Hermano, Jesus understands! He loves you!
