Defeating the Idols that Battle for Your Heart

$16.99

A book by Kyle Idleman

Your heart is a battlefield.

What do excessive screen time, our desire for the corner office, and that perfect picture we just posted on Instagram have to do with each other? None of these things is wrong in itself.  But when we allow entertainment, success, or social media to control us, we miss out on the joy of God’s rule in our hearts.

In Gods at War, Pastor Kyle Idleman helps every believer recognize there are false gods at war within each of us, and they battle for the place of glory and control in our lives.

Description

Kill idols (false gods) in your life once and for all!

If you’re a Christ-follower and you’re honest with yourself, you don’t really need further explanation. The ‘thing’ or ‘things’ you tend to run to, or return to other than God—when you get hurt, a relationship tanks, you get overwhelmed or you lose something or someone—is likely an idol that needs to be killed in order to experience God’s best for your life.

According to Kyle Idleman, idolatry isn’t an issue – it is the issue. It’s uncomfortable to admit, but just like the wandering Israelites, we tend to erect and justify false gods to calm and comfort us. Sometimes, we trade something good God created for God Himself. You might not even consider this ‘thing’ you’ve inadvertently grown to love a false god, but if it doesn’t draw you closer to your Heavenly Father, you should probably dig in here.

By asking insightful questions, Idleman reveals which false gods each of us are allowing on the throne of our lives.  What do you sacrifice for? What makes you mad? What do you worry about? Whose applause do you long for?  We’re all wired for worship, but we often end up valuing and honoring the idols of money, sex, food, romance, success, and many others that keep us from the intimate relationship with God that we desire. If you’re desperately seeking the Father’s best for your life, you need to kill idols—false gods—that stand in the way.

In this updated edition, Idleman adds a new introduction as well as new content about the battle many of us face with technology – whether we are tempted to send just one more text, stay online when our bodies need rest, or find ourselves putting email before in-person relationships.  How can we seek God with our whole heart instead?

Using true, powerful, and honest testimonies of those who have struggled in each area, Gods at War illustrates a clear path away from the heartache of our twenty -first-century idolatry back to the heart of God – enabling us to be truly committed followers of Jesus.

Kill idols that distract you from the fullness of God’s blessing with these additional resources.
