“Could You Be Worshipping Idols of the Heart?” November 11
Are you familiar with the phrase “idols of the heart”? You see, not all idolatry is characterized by the worship of statues, and even when it is, there are idols of the heart at play, as well. We might say they are the idols behind the idols.
God warned the nation of Israel over and over to repent and turn from their idolatry. Their refusal to do so took them into captivity and cost them the loss of their land, their homes, their freedom, and often their families. And the consequences of idolatry are just as devastating today as they were in Old Testament times! In fact, the New Testament warns us repeatedly about the danger of idolatry.
