Defining Our Terms:
Ponder this definition by Ken Sande:
Most of us think of an idol as a statue of wood, stone, or metal worshiped by pagan people. . .in biblical terms, it is something other than God that we set our heart on, that motivates us, that masters and rules us, or that we trust, fear, or serve. . .An idol can also be referred to as a "false god" or a "functional god". (pg. 13)
Based on this definition, what new thoughts does it bring to your understanding of a false god or idol?

Based on the second definition of false gods on pg 15, i was struck at the idea of how our hopes and dreams can be a false god if we let it get in the way of relying on and letting God be the One who actually operates as our God and the author of those hopes and dreams.
