Greg Dutcher:
If a woman cannot find God’s presence and power sufficient to sustain her through the day, then idolatry has hunted her down. If that student’s Xbox fantasies shift from fun entertainment to ceaseless obsession, then idolatry has slipped through the back door and made itself at home. And when a husband stops seeing his wife as a God-given life partner and treats her only as an object for his own pleasure, then idolatry has done a good day’s work. None of these victims may realize how deep in the throes of God-substitutes they actually are, but that’s just fine with idolatry. Idolatry is a stealthy hunter.
