Maybe you think of small carved figures, statues, or images people bowed down before, worshipped, and sacrificed to in the Old Testament. But really, what is an idol, and what does it look like today in our 21st century? As Christians, how should we think about this, and how are we to remove idols from our lives if they aren’t these things? These questions and concerns will be addressed in this episode of the Straight Truth Podcast today between Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Josh Philpot. Listen in as Dr. Philpot asks Dr. Caldwell to share what idolatry is. If idolatry doesn't consist of just bowing, etc., before figures, images, and statues today, what is it, and how does it impact our relationship with God?<br> <br> Dr. Caldwell says idolatry is a matter of denying what God has revealed about Himself. We are not to worship the God of the Bible with images, figures, etc. To do so is to reduce what God has revealed about Himself to an image that comes from men's minds. It’s an image that derives from ourselves instead of from God. It’s a denial of God; it is a false god. That is what idols are. Why do men make idols?
