Episode Synopsis

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are continuing in our series on the book of Isaiah, using my brand-new Bible study called A Coming King.   In our passage today, we are brought face-to-face with our ongoing tendency to turn created things into idols. You see, we were made to worship, and if we don’t worship the God of the universe, we will inevitably worship something or someone else. If not submitted to Christ, our hearts become little idol factories. Certainly, idols in our day are far more sophisticated and sneaky than the ancient wooden statue versions, but they are no less present. You and I must learn how to recognize and eradicate idols from our hearts. I am going to share four tests we can use to determine if something has reached idol status in our lives.   We also talk about the Babylonian mentality in this episode. This ancient way of thinking has invaded our culture, and you may be surprised to find it has made its way into your thinking as well.   So, be warned, this episode is nothing short of convicting. I’m betting the Holy Spirit will step all over your toes as He has been doing with me, all with the view of making us more like Christ.   So grab a cup of coffee, your Bible, and your Isaiah Bible Study and join me on the pages of God’s Word.      Resources Mentioned: A Coming King Isaiah Bible Study (printed workbook) A Coming King Isaiah Bible Study (digital download) Lovevook Laptop Backpack   Connect With Me: Visit Scripture & Story for beautiful Bible study resources.
