What Is an “Idol?”

Show Notes: When we think “idol,” we oftentimes think of a statue that you bow down to. But there’s more to it than that, and idolatry actually occupies the first two of the ten commandments, so you know it’s important. We often have a “root idol” that controls a lot of the way we live our lives, whether that’s power, control, comfort, or approval. In order to stop looking to these idols to meet our needs, we have to give God the ultimate weight in our lives. Idols are not usually bad things, they’re often good things that we’ve given God-sized weight in our lives. Want to ask J.D. a question? Head to our Ask Me Anything hub to submit your question!
