Here are words that could never come from the idols of man's desires. Here are words with absolute meaning and specific application. All desires, feelings, intuitions, dreams, inner-voices, etc., must be evaluated by this Word. The Bible is God's Word that tells us exactly what God desires. A written Word is the best method of communicating God's will and it alone is capable of directing us in repentance from the idols we desire.
Biblical illiteracy allows idolatry.
Bible studies have given way to support groups and classes on 'practical' topics, such as parenting or coping with stress. Another reason is found in the impact of idolatry. People look at the Bible as something to be studied in Bible class but not as the rule for life. Many today are unwilling to study the Scriptures and come to understand what it teaches. When the Word of God is present it rebukes idolatry.
