• “These cannot satisfy” by Cornelius Plantinga Jr.

  
  Tolle Lege — Authority: 131
  “All forms of idolatry involve us deeply in folly. All idolatry is not only treacherous but also futile.

  Homil? — Authority: 128
  "You do not have to go to heathen lands today to find false gods. Our country is full of them. Whatever you make most of is your god. Whatever you love more than God is your idol.

  Interstitial — Authority: 128
  At our church, the Austin Stone Community Church, we are going through Genesis. So far the messages have been convicting and edifying.

  lifeasmission — Authority: 118
  We interrupt this series to being you an important service announcement.

A few months ago I listened to a message on the gospel and idolatry.  The ...

• Thursday Thought and Question

  
  The Point — Authority: 120
  Today I want us to think on the two concepts that I have written about this week: God being the Boss of our lives, our Adonai; and our ability and willingness to have complete confidence in Him. If the first is true, really true, then the second should be true as well. If we are truly allowing Him to be the Boss, ...

• The Indifferent Church

  
  True Discernment — Authority: 429
  from The Tribulation Network: Today’s western church ignores prophecy and believes false doctrine at its own peril.  Deception lurks at the door.  Lukewarm bottoms make for comfy pews.  Indifference leads to apostasy and the tar baby of the world system.  The church is an anemic, ineffective, but extravagant ...

• nationalism: good or bad?

  
  Jesus community — Authority: 422
  Nationalism as understood today may have had its roots in Europe, but its seems to have begun within the story in Genesis 11 of the Tower of Babel, people no longer united due to their different languages- hence the term babble- and spreading throughout the earth.

• Demonic Irony in the Garden

  
  Irish Calvinist — Authority: 125
  The garden remains the fertile crescent for diagnosing and dealing with the rebellion of the heart.  What was at the heart of their fall?  It was idolatry.  The disgusting dissatisfaction with God and over stimulation with and by stuff and self.
