Beholding Bible Truth

Scott continues the summer series, this time focusing on Worship, discussing a recurring theme: idolatry and its impact on faith and life. Scott starts by recounting his own transformative journey from viewing God as irrelevant to embracing a deep faith. Through readings from the Old Testament, he talks about the commandment to have no other gods and the futility of idol worship.

The discussion continues to examine the role of idolatry in modern life, highlighting how materialism and personal security often lead people away from God. Scott discusses the powerful story of a man who kneels before Jesus but values his possessions more than following Him. He references others like Corky, who turn to faith in times of crisis, and explores how idols—whether money, sex, or power—fail to provide true security. The episode incorporates practical steps for self-assessment, reflection, and prayer, aiming to identify and guard against the idols in our lives.
