Table Talk (E67): When Good Becomes God Week One
from West Towne Weekly · host West Towne Christian Church
Modern idolatry is more subtle than ancient statue worship, but equally dangerous. An idol is anything we look to for what only God can provide - security, worth, and peace. Often, good things like career, family, or even morality become idols when we elevate them above God. The Israelites' golden calf incident reveals our human desire to control our relationship with God rather than trust Him. When we worship idols, it leads to destructive behavior and injustice. To break free, we must honestly examine our hearts, confess misplaced priorities, and reorder our loves with God at the center.
