American Idols: What's the Problem?

Think about what you are truly building your life on, can it be taken away? If it was taken away, would your life completely fall apart? Truth is, if you are building your life on anything else but the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, your life will crumble when difficulties come. And they WILL come! Your life WILL NOT fall apart if your life is built on God. Check out what Jesus says in Matthew 7:24-27 about the subject.

So why should we build our lives on Jesus and not an idol?

• Jesus is reliable. Jesus will never leave you or forsake you, you can count on Jesus! (Hebrews 13:5-6) What/who do you rely on?
• Jesus is Consistent. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8

What happens when your idol becomes threatened or lost?

• You become paralyzed, with fear, frustration, anxiety. Remember, Jesus can NEVER be taken from you! You can chose to walk away from Him, but no one else can take Him away from you.
• You become panicked, you do stupid things to hold on to it. Remember, you don't have to prove yourself worthy to Jesus, Jesus accepts you, you are important to Him!
• You feel pressure.

So again I ask, what are you building your life on?
