Episode notes
God Must Come First
- The first commandment demands God come first and forbids putting anything before Him.
- This command addresses idolatry broadly, not just ancient statues.
Worship Is The Heart's Default
- Worship is the default of the human heart and will attach to something if not God.
- Our worship often becomes horizontal, aimed at created things instead of the Creator.
Run From Idolatry Now
- Flee from idolatry as 1 Corinthians 10:14 commands; treat it like immediate danger.
- Take idolatry as seriously as sexual immorality because both affect the whole person.
