In a second session, Mark Driscoll spoke from Ezekiel 14 on the topic of idols. Here is some of what he shared:
Most people don't worship bad things. Rather people take a good thing, make it a God thing and that is a bad thing.
Idols lie and present themselves as things they are not: a false, functional savior (marriage, parenting); things that can mediate between us and God (pastor).
Idols lie in that people believe they can give identity or that they can make one righteous.
Demons don't care what you believe as long as it is not the trinitarian God of the Gospel.
The goal of the Gospel is for idolaters to become worshippers not just make behavioral changes.
Many people profess faith but do not possess it and practice it.
