Is Idolatry Destroying the Church?
IS IDOLATRY DESTROYING THE CHURCH? That’s a perceptive—and pastoral—question. The prophets were relentless because idolatry wasn’t merely wrong worship; it was misplaced trust. The tragedy of Israel and Judah wasn’t just that they bowed to images, but that they replaced the living God with substitutes that felt safer, more visible, or more controllable. The same…
