Scripture
Deuteronomy 7:25-26 NLT
You must burn their idols in fire, and you must not covet the silver or gold that covers them. You must not take it or it will become a trap to you, for it is detestable to the LORD your God. Do not bring any detestable objects into your home, for then you will be destroyed, just like them. You must utterly detest such things, for they are set apart for destruction.
Consider
Idols are dangerous because they usurp God’s rightful place as Lord in our lives. The idols themselves have no power to control us. Instead, they offer temptations to sin.
