Resisting Idolatry like Jesus

Just finished listening to a sermon by Mark Driscoll on idolatry. Driscoll said we all worship something because it's what we're created to do. Therefore, the root of any discontent or unhappiness in our life is in the worship of something other than God. The path to happiness in God and personal holiness is therefore not white-knuckle will power but rather the severing of our worship of whatever our idol is. He suggested several questions to ask yourself to discover what your idols are:

• What am I most afraid of?
• What do I long for most passionately?
• Where do I run for comfort?
• What do I complain about most?
• What angers me most?
• What makes me happiest?
• How do I explain myself to other people?
  
• What has caused me to be angry with God?
• What do I brag about?
• What do I want to have more than anything else?
• Who do I sacrifice the most for in my life?
• If I could change one thing in my life, what would that be?
• Whose approval am I seeking?
• What do I want to control/master?
• What comfort do I treasure most?
