Some women who believe they’re “standing for their marriage” are actually stuck in idolatry.

Not devotion.

Not faith.

Idolatry.

Because if your husband leaving has turned you into an emotional wreck who can’t function, can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t think about anything else… that’s a type of worship, rather than biblical strength.

And on the other side of the story, many of the spouses who leave are also in idolatry.

But their idol isn’t marriage, it’s happiness.

They believe their personal happiness gives them permission to break their vows and sin against God.

So today we’re going to talk about the two idols destroying modern marriages:

The idol of marriage itself, and the idol of personal happiness.

And we’re going to look at one of the most shocking tests of loyalty in the Bible - when God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac.

Because sometimes God will ask you to lay down the very thing you wanted most, just to prove it’s not your god.
