Idolatry Is the Soul Killer | LFC Part 20 | 1 Cor 10 | Sam Oyeyinka

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 20) | 1 Cor. 9:24–10:7The reward ahead of believers — everlasting life with God — far surpasses anything this world can offer. This eternal hope should spur us to exercise self-control and guard against desires that destroy the soul. The first of these destructive desires is idolatry: trusting created things to meet our needs instead of God the Creator, and treasuring the gifts above the Giver.How can we be free from idols? By exposing ourselves to God's means of grace — the Word, prayer, and the Sacraments — which He uses to change our appetites and transform our hearts.
