Bible Note: Dear Sister Azure, I don't think this list of Keller's is intended to categorize idolatry. What he is trying to do is instruct us by exposing various kinds of idolatry that we might not recognize as such. Sin tends to hide and thrive in the shadows. John Calvin once said something to the effect -- forgive my memory -- that the evil aspect of our desires is not so much a matter of what we want, but that we want it too much. As we know, the thing we are to prize most highly, is God Himself; even to the extent that we value Him more than life, family, and worldly things. Thus, the concern for health is, in and of itself, a good thing -- but when it arises out of placing greater value in something other than God, it could represent an idolatrous thing. In Him, Doc |
