Ep. 16 | Inadvertent Idolatry, Part 1
It may seem simple and straightforward: Don't make or worship idols. But our idea of what constitutes an idol may just be the tip of the iceberg when reading deeper into the second commandment and what God is really trying to communicate. For the Lord, worship - right worship - of Him is a big deal. In this episode of crosswise, Ciara and Jessi discuss ways Christians are accidentally stepping over the line into what is actually prohibited in the second commandment even in their attempts to avoid idolatry and worship the true God rightly. You may hear "idol" and think "golden calf," but don't be deceived into thinking that's all there is to it.
