Bill Gothard
O senseless man who cannot make a worm, and yet makes gods by dozens.
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533–1592)

Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
William Cowper (1731–1800)
The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of him.
A. W. Tozer (1897–1963)
Whatever a man seeks, honors, or exalts more than God, is idolatry.
William Bernard Ullanthorne (1806–1889)
Whenever we take what God has done and put it in the place of himself, we become idolators.
Oswald Chambers (1874–1917)
