Scripture: Acts 14:8-23
“No room remains empty for long. If God is driven out, the gods come trooping in.”
Lesslie Newbigin
“Idols are non-gods and as such are much more congenial to us than God, for we not only have the pleasure of making them, using our wonderful imaginations and skills in creative ways, but also of controlling them. They are gods with all the God taken out so that we can continue to be our own gods.”
Eugene Peterson
“Those who make idols become like them; so do all who trust in them. O Israel, trust in the LORD!”
Psalm 115: 8-9a
“Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love . . . Salvation belongs to the LORD!”
Jonah 2: 8-9
