“Idolatry is the folly of asking a gift to be a giver .... The problem is that unlike the gospel, idols nurture an insatiable itch. The more we scratch, the more the itch spreads. Pursuing the idol causes the idol to keep moving just further out of reach. In that rare instance where we do in fact attain the idol we've longed for, we will be astonished at how empty and hollow it is.”
