Ian Thomas on Christian Idolatry
“Beware least even as a Christian you fall into Satan’s Trap. You may have come to know and found God and the LORD Jesus Christ, receiving Him sincerely as your redeemer, yet if you do not enter into the mystery of Godliness and allow God to be in you the origin of His own image, you will seek to be godly by submitting yourself to external rules and regulations by conforming to behavioral patterns imposed upon you by the particular religious society you have chosen and in which you hope to be found acceptable. You will in this way perpetuate the pagan habit of practicing religion in the energy of the flesh and in that very pursuit of righteousness commit idolatry by honoring Christianity more that Christ.” – Ian Thomas.
