Key Principle: God uses conflict to reveal our idols.
1. The progression of an idol:
Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD. (Lam 3:40)
1. The progression of an idol:
- I ______________.
- I ______________ -- the birth of an idol.
But those who trust in idols, who say to images, 'You are our gods,' will be turned back in utter shame. (Isa 42:17) - I ______________.
Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. (James 4:11) - I ______________.
Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. (Gen 4:8, see Prov 27:15)
Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD. (Lam 3:40)
- With what am I preoccupied?
- How would I complete the statement: "If only ______________, then I would be happy, fulfilled, and secure"?
- When a certain desire is not met, do I feel frustration, anxiety, resentment, bitterness, anger, or depression?
- ______________ and receive God's refreshing forgiveness.
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. (Acts 3:19) - Worship and ______________ yourself in the Lord.
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Ps 37:4)
