“You shall have no other gods before me” (Ex 20:3). The natural
response to this commandment by sinners is to worship and serve the creature
rather than the creator who is blessed forever amen (Rom 1:25). Hence, our
society is full of idols - man made substitutes for the real God. This is
nothing new. In Acts 17 Paul is taken by the number of idols that the Athenians
had. God substitutes come in many
different sizes, shapes, colors and disguises. If we are to know and
acknowledge the living and true God in all areas of our lives as commanded, then
we must ever be at work seeking to identify the idols in our modern American society.
This is necessary so that they do not sneak their way into our lives. Christians
must remind themselves and all others that “the Lord is God, there is no other
besides him” (Deut. 4:35).

I think Duck Dynasty has sneaked in and is way too big of an idol.
