Judges 8:27 ” Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshipping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.”

Just like the golden calf Aaron made in the wilderness for the children of Israel when they thought Moses was lost up on the mountain, idolatry rears its ugly head when we start worshipping the object rather than God. The lure of this object is always strong and enticing…we’ve some how gotten God into a small, neat package we can see and touch. But what sadly happens, is that we start treating the object with more love, respect, and honor than the Lord…this type of idolatry is called Spiritual adultery.
