When Good becomes God

This weekend we heard a powerful message from our friend, Pastor Dustin Johnston, on the subject of idols. Drawing from Acts 17, he used the city of Athens as an example of what we often see in our own lives.

Too often, we take the good things God has given us and place them where only He belongs. Pastor Dustin challenged us to reevaluate our priorities, repent where we’ve gone wrong, and realign our lives to put God first.

Here are the questions he ended his message with...

1. What do I love most deeply? 

2. What do I trust in for a sense of security or identity?

3. Where do my time, attention, and energy go the most? 

4. What do I find hard to say “no” to?

5. What triggers my strongest emotion?

6. What am I striving to achieve and protect above all else?

7. Who or what gives me significance?

8. What do I run to for comfort or escape when life gets hard?

9. When am I willing to compromise my integrity?
