Welcome to Ask Paul Tripp, a weekly podcast from Paul Tripp Ministries where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp answers your questions, connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.
This week, Paul responds to a question from Jim, who was reading New Morning Mercies and took issue with Paul’s use of the word idol in the August 3rd entry. Jim argues that Scripture uses the term literally, so is it appropriate for Paul to use it metaphorically?
