Idolatry
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg examines the concept of idolatry beyond the worship of physical statues or images. He emphasizes that idolatry could manifest in various forms, including love of possessions, pleasure, and self-worship. The effects of idolatry can hinder God's intervention and are offensive to Him, and Christians should guard themselves against it. Steve points out that being conscious of idols in our lives and ensuring that they align with God's values is crucial, and being humble and content could help cut down pride and idolatry.
