When Jesus is Just an "Add On"

In this post, Justin Buzzard talks about "4 root idols that we tend to attach our lives to."

CONTROL. You know you have a control idol if your greatest nightmare is uncertainty.

APPROVAL. You know you have an approval idol if your greatest nightmare is rejection.

COMFORT. You know you have a comfort idol if your greatest nightmare is stress/demands.

POWER. You know you have a power idol if your greatest nightmare is humiliation.

He says that many people "never displace the idolatry in their lives with Jesus, but instead simply bring in Jesus as an 'add on' to their life, keeping their idolatry firmly in the center."
