2002-06-23 Idols
from Spiritual Wisdom from Old Guys Hosted by Dave DeVries
How can we distinguish between enjoying God's gifts and making them into idols? What's the difference between loving people and depending on them for what only God can provide? Pastor Dave concludes the 1 John series with John's stark warning about idols—anything that gets between believers and experiencing God's fullness. Through C.S. Lewis's painful discovery that "God is an end, not a means" and a dramatic video about a man sacrificing family for a Porsche, he exposes four categories of modern idols that rob believers of the satisfaction, safety, and security God wants to provide, challenging listeners to get their "MDiv" (meaning, dignity, identity, value) from God alone rather than from created substitutes.
