What are your idols or besetting sins?

 This could be a good question for all Christians to reflect upon. 

Our idols will be some corruption of the good: some god rather than God. 

For me, I think there is maybe something about words rather than the Word. 

I fill much of my life with Radio 4, rather than being comfortable with silence. 

I seem to rather read about the Bible than to read the Bible!

I tend to speak when I ought to listen. 

Confronted with a problem, I think the answer might be in a few books. We better get a reading list! 

Books might give safety and confidence and security and success. 

So what are the idols here? Education. Ideas. Talk. Intellect. Solving stuff. Answering questions.
