Episode Notes:

Today’s episode is titled “The Reality of Idolatry.”

Idolatry is not only sinful, but it is also stupid. When we hear the word idolatry, we tend to picture an uncivilized person bowing down before a carved image. And yes, that is one form of idolatry. But it is definitely not the only form.

According to the New Testament, believers can be guilty of idolatry. Paul says in Colossians 3:5 that greed is a form of idolatry. John warns believers in 1 John 5:21, “Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.” And Paul tells the Corinthians to flee from idolatry — and remember, he is not writing to unbelievers or pagans, but to a Christian church. So, he obviously believed that Christians are always at risk of falling into idolatry.

Idolatry is not just something that happens in primitive cultures. It is something that happens in the human heart. The message- that idolatry is foolish, irrational, and destructive comes from the Lord Himself. And He delivered that message to a king in ancient Judah.
