Dealing With Idols: The Good Thing You’ve Started Trusting More Than God

Most of us reach for the phone before our feet hit the floor, hoping something on the screen will tell us we matter. That reflex points at something older than technology.
In part 3 of this 12-part series on The Mercy King, Scott Sauls looks at what Scripture actually means by idolatry, and why it has almost nothing to do with statues. An idol usually isn't a bad thing. It's a good thing we start asking to carry weight it was never built to carry. Money is a good gift until we ask it for peace. Recognition is a good gift until we need it to tell us who we are.
The episode moves through David Foster Wallace's "This Is Water," Tolstoy's judge Ivan Ilyich, who succeeded by every standard his world recognized and found on his deathbed that something had gone wrong at the center of it, Tennessee Williams on the catastrophe of success, God's promise in Ezekiel 36 to remove a heart of stone and give a heart of flesh, and C.S. Lewis on aiming at heaven.
Idols demand our sacrifices. Jesus became the sacrifice. Idols keep score. Jesus meets our failure with mercy. The grip doesn't break because we get strong enough to break it. It breaks when we start believing we're already loved, already secure, already home.
