I just popped over to Stacy McDonald's blog (a link from Sarah Mae's) and I really like what she has to say here: http://yoursacredcalling.blogspot.com/2010/01/legalist-hunters-and-hypocrisy-that.html
~~~ "Another related issue is idolatry. We focus on someone we "think" has it all together and we follow them, seeking to live like they do. Rather than study for ourselves and stand firm in what we believe, we often blindly embrace someone else’s convictions. Then, since the convictions weren't our own to begin with, we’ll waver and eventually give up in despair; because really, we weren't truly obeying God; we were just going through the motions. The result is that we blame the one we've been blindly "following." We blame our idol for our idolatry.
We must know what we believe and why. We must not follow anyone but Jesus. God is a jealous God and He wants our unrivaled worship, devotion, and love." ~~~
