Idolatry
isn’t just one of many sins; rather it’s the one great sin that all others come
from. So
if you start scratching at whatever struggle you’re dealing with, eventually
you’ll find that underneath it is a false god. Until that god is dethroned, and the Lord God takes his rightful place,
you will not have victory.
Idolatry
isn’t an
issue; it is the issue.
All roads lead to the dusty, overlooked concept of false gods. Deal with life
on the glossy outer layers, and you might never see it; scratch a little
beneath the surface, and you begin to see that it’s always there, under some
other coat of paint. There are a hundred million different symptoms, but the issue is always idolatry.
