I’ve witnessed this first hand as someone has tried to make me their “project” to convince themselves of their own self-righteousness. Annoying, right. Idolatry is very really in Christians.

When we worship God he begins to take the place of what our hearts currently worship and then we can defeat idolatry. Of course, as Keller says this will be a lifelong battle, and is why even though the church is still hypocritical at the best of times I still love it. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to explore the sins of their heart/grow in their knowledge of God.
