Episode notes
People Abhor Religious Vacuum
- People abhor a religious vacuum and will fill it with something to worship quickly.
- This often leads to idolatry, as the religion formed is about the wrong things.
Humans Are Worshipping Beings
- Humans are inherently worshipping creatures; no one is truly irreligious.
- The critical question is what or who we choose to worship as our God.
Trust God's Timing
- Avoid taking matters into your own hands when God's timing seems delayed.
- Trust God's plan rather than acting out of impatience like the Israelites did with the golden calf.
