But if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, which were beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 NASB

March marks the beginning of Lent this year. It is a perfect opportunity to challenge yourself and surrender your false idols. We all have false idols, “any person, place or thing, or even an idea that is placed above God.” (Catholic.net) It is important to realize that many of these false idols are not bad, we just need to make sure they are not the center of our life. Only God belongs in the center of our life! Read about this further in the following resources and examine your conscience this Lent:
