Idolatry & Biblical Faith part 2 of 3

Part 2 starts with exploring Deuteronomy 32, where Israel’s rebellion led to worshiping idols and demons, which Paul later references in 1 Corinthians 10. The speaker highlights the progression of apostasy—complacency, rebellion, and abandonment of God—leading to idolatry. Idolatry, more than physical statues, is attributing power to anything but God, including natural forces, wealth, or success. Contrasting biblical faith, all power originates from God, and reliance on rituals or objects to manipulate divine power mirrors idolatry. True faith involves diligently seeking God, who alone fulfills all needs, rather than compartmentalizing life into secular and sacred.
