Their Focus Jesus
“Family, work, relationships, money – we all make different choices about what’s important to us in life. The problem is that all too easily we can find ourselves fixed on one thing to the exclusion of all else; the subtle temptation is always to take something that is good in itself and elevate it above all other things in the search for security and meaning…Though we shrink from calling it idolatry, it is nonetheless true that we have made things into our gods.”
