We all tend to make idols. So to prevent ourselves from doing so, it’s important to understand from what we are manufacturing our idols from.
- Things that entice us
- Things we fear
- Things that we trust
- Things we need
Whenever we make idols from these things, we are basically rejecting God.
“The only antidote to such idolatries, and therefore the task of biblical mission, is to lead people back to acknowledge the only true and living God in all of these domains.”
– Christopher Wright, The Mission of God
