Larry Norman My favorite book to read from in public speaking. In the style of Real Christians Don't Dance, this book holds that Christianity is not a set of answers to all our problems as much as it is a journey through countless questions that deepen our understanding of God and strengthen our ability to trust him in spite of unanswered questions.
Good things can become idols.
Even the actual graven images of the Old Testament were not bad in and of themselves. Some were probably admirable works of art. A thing becomes an idol when it is placed before, or in the place of, the living God. To come to God seeking anything but himself is to come with insufficient need. A person merely seeking answers to life's questions is not asking enough.
