Talking About Idolatry: Small Group Discussion
from Dive In Dig Deep
What are your spouse’s idols? This was the discussion question for our marriage small group this past weekend. Here are several reasons why I wanted to talk about it: Idolatry is insidious, so it’s good for us to examine our lives and name our idols. Our spouses know us best. I’m generalizing here, but we likely spend the most time with them, and they see us at our most sinful. That kind of honesty builds humility. Getting used to plainly naming our sin reminds us that we don’t always see ourselves clearly and that we need each other. It also strengthens trust and intimacy. Honest, grace-filled conversations about struggles can deepen a relationship rather than weaken it. In a marriage group setting, we can better understand what each couple is facing and encourage and support one another as we grow more like Christ.
