SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 343, “What Idols Do You Need to Completely Erase?” Kim discusses the dangers of partial obedience. King Uzziah, as well as a few of his ancestors, are described as doing what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight, but they did not destroy the pagan shrines. First, this was in direct disobedience to God’s instructions to the Israelites when they came into the promised land. Additionally, even if these were not places of temptation for these kings, they were places of temptation for others and needed to be completely eradicated. Now, how can this be applied to our lives today? Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 15:1-4, with 3-4 as the focal verse: 3 He did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight, just as his father, Amaziah, had done. 4 But he did not destroy the pagan shrines, and the people still offered sacrifices and burned incense there. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: What places of idolatry do you need to destroy in your own life? Additional Resources and Scriptures: 2 “When you drive out the nations that live there, you must destroy all the places where they worship their gods—high on the mountains, up on the hills, and under every green tree. 3 Break down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Burn their Asherah poles and cut down their carved idols. Completely erase the names of their gods! 4 “Do not worship the Lord your God in the way these pagan peoples worship their gods. 5 Rather, you must seek the Lord your God at the place of worship he himself will choose from among all the tribes—the place where his name will be honored. (Deut. 12:2-5)2 Kings 17:7–12; Jeremiah 17:2–3; Hosea 10:8EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.comX - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hgINSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/“Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
