This week I am highlighting three noteworthy takeaways from chapter 7 of Coekin's work, The Reluctant Evangelist. Again, I hope this entices you to grab a copy for yourself at The Good Book Company's webpage. This week we are acknowledging the power of idolatry in our culture and even in our own lives.

• There is no kindness in serving idols. (72)

• Western culture lives in a 'rights' culture and it has been magnified through social media. In the 'rights' culture autonomy is god. This worldview is narcissistic and pluralistic. (73)

• We can tell which god we worship by how we spend our spare time, what we're devastated by losing, and where we turn in trouble. (74)
