gods at war by Kyle Idleman

In gods at war by Kyle Idleman, idolatry is the perfect diagnosis for the main disease that plagues our culture today. The “me, me, me” mentality of today derives from idolatry. It is my world and everyone else is simply trying to exist in it. No wonder the Bible makes it one of the most discussed issues. Idolatry is the sin that all other sin generates from. This book will dissect your heart and peel back the layers with probing questions to determine who or what god are you worshiping. Is it the god of control, god of performance, god of suffering, god of relationship, god of me? The Lord is a jealous God and He will not share the throne with anyone or anything else. Who are you looking to glorify? What are you putting your hope in and what are you pursuing? Everything else in your life is decided by which god you put your hope in and it will ultimately determine your identity. Kyle Idleman nails it with the title because the gods are at war every day of our lives. This book convicts the reader about whom or what they are giving priority to, if not God, then who or what? Are your gods so common that you do not even recognize them anymore? Just like forgiveness, it is a daily battle to resist the idols. Is it time for you to lay your idols at the altar? Kyle Idleman can show you how in gods at war.
