Luxury Equalled Idol Worship

Hosea 10:1-2 How prosperous Israel is—a luxuriant vine loaded with fruit.But the richer the people get,the more pagan altars they build.The more bountiful their harvests,the more beautiful their sacred pillars. The hearts of the people are fickle;they are guilty and must be punished.The Lord will break down their altarsand smash their sacred pillars. (NLT)

Hosea 10:2 Their heart is divided and deceitful; now shall they be found guilty and suffer punishment. The Lord will smite and break down the horns of their altars; He will destroy their idolatrous pillars.  (AMP)

Lord, this is what has happened to my country.  I am sorry that I let prosperity turn me into an idol worshipped.  The gifted Worshipping the gifts instead of the gifter.

My Top Twenty Albums of the Last 35ish Years

Okay.

So I was having some fun thinking bout some of my favourite music albums released in the last 30 years or so.  This is what I came up with.  Some of these artists you will have heard of and some you won't because I'm older.  These stick out in my consciousness like tall mountains whose peaks rise above the cloud line.
