Anything that focuses on self more than Jesus is idolatry. Anything that focuses on experience more than relationship is idolatry. Anything that fears man more than God is idolatry.
Don't forget bowing down to 190-foot-tall stone monoliths. That qualifies too!

Another Amen ... another favorite of mine is Jesus Adrian Romero ... a Spanish song writer extraordinaire whose vertical worship songs are timeless. and awe-inspiring.

One of my favorite is Tengo Hambre de Ti - I Hunger for You.

Click on play to hear it.

[YT="Jesus Adrian Romero"]eiBM64MhhIU[/YT]

Lyrics:

Por un momento en Tu precencia
[For a moment in Your Presence]
Por un instante de Tu amor
[For an instant in Your Love]
Por un destello de Tu gloria
[For a flash of Your Glory]
Por un minuto nada mas
[For just a minute, no more]

Todo daria, no importaria
[I would give everything, nothing matters]
lo que tenga que pasar
[No matter what I would need to go through]
lo que tenga que esperar...
[What I would wait for ...]

Tengo hambre de Ti
[I hunger for You]
de Tu presencia
[for Your presence]
de Tu fragancia
[for Your fragrance]
de Tu poder
[for Your power]

Hambre que duele
[Hunger that hurts]
Que debilita
[that weakens]
Que desespera
[that makes me desperate]
Por Ti, Señor Jesus
[for You, Lord Jesus]
Tengo hambre de Ti.

AMEN. A beautiful sound being offered unto our Lord.
What a genuine motive to seek the presence of God; established in a hunger that is clothed in humility. God's word assures us that he will meet anyone who seeks him with such a heart.

Worship. A bondservant established in the love for the master who first loved us.

I am so desperate to be in a place where all hearts are focused on Jesus only.
I remember a time, long ago, when it seemed there was a holy haze in the church during praise and worship service. I can remember folks falling on their knees at their pews as the power of God buckled their spirit.

I do not miss everything from years past, but I do miss the sense of focus that we had back then.

We've had this recently and it's awesome; nothing like the heavy heavy presence of God.
