" Anything that is functionally more important to you than God is an idol. Anything you love more than God—even a good thing like a spouse or child or social cause—is a false god. Because we love them too much, we are wracked with uncontrollable fears and anger when they are threatened and inconsolable despair when we lose them. "

― Timothy J. Keller , The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms
