(George Horne, 1730-1792)
“The prophets prophesied by Baal, following worthless idols!” Jeremiah 2:8
Vain were the idols of the ancient world, such as Baal and Jupiter.
They were as vain as the idols of modern times: Pleasure, Honor, and Profit.
“While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols!” Acts 17:16
“Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry!” 1 Corinthians 10:14

Oh, so many idols today: TV, Social Media, Nacissism, Materialism, Vanity, etc.!
I AGREE! Too many take up our attention. Was a good reminder for me to check myself! Thanks for writing! aj
