Ephesians 5:5 

For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Lets just look at one item on this list:  idolatry

Now, idolatry is putting something or someone in our lives ahead of every thing else such that all of our decisions are filtered through seeking the approval of that thing or someone 

For instance, 

Consider how the having enough money can become an idol when it drives people to do whatever it takes to pay bill, instead of seeking God’s direction in this matter

Friend…we must be continually mindful of how even our thoughts can become idolatrous … when they seek to downplay God’s direction for us.

May our Heavenly Father be allowed to purge us of such tendencies.
