Episode notes
What is an Idol?
- An idol isn't just a physical statue; it represents what that statue symbolizes.
- Idols are anything less than the fullness of God to which we give our hearts.
Golden Calf Incident
- After God freed the Israelites, they quickly made a golden calf, fearing Moses' absence.
- They worshiped God's strength through the calf, remaking God in their image.
Why We Want Idols
- We create idols when our hearts aren't satisfied in God.
- We don't believe God can meet our needs, so we turn to things like money, love, pleasure, or beauty.
