N. T. Wright joins us to talk about how the concept of idolatry is still alive and well today, even though in a more subtle form than in the ancient world. What sorts of damages does this cause to the church? And did Paul’s speech in Athens compromise with or challenge his audience?

Perhaps they avoided specific conversation about Christian Nationalism so that we could each look where we have our own potential idols? I’m on board with the message that CN is idolatrous. But, if I know that’s not my own struggle, that doesn’t mean I’m aware of my actual idolatry. Let’s remember to look at our own hearts in all this.

Humanity attempting to accomplish the work of Jesus Christ will always fail. Build a government that regulates and mandates that each individual love with the love of any god. Is simply building another tower to God with imperfect resources. Jesus Christ will return and complete his work on Earth as it is in Heaven. We will participate (what ever resurrection means in the mundanity of a new heaven and new earth.) But we will only be participating under the headship of the Trinity from a Throne in Earth. It is beyond our abilities either to comprehend or bring about. No political mandate will be sufficient to replicate the wisdom and power of a ruling and glorious Deity with perfect communication with everyone on a planet. Omniscient and omnipresent and powerful for loving abundance. That's a bit of a glimpse into the New Kingdom. Humanity will always attempt to govern itself. The ultimate test of a culture is the condemnation of our efforts, "You will always have the poor with you." Jesus says this in the 3 Gospel accounts Mt Mk Jhn. If I have any poor people in a state, country, city, neighborhood or home, we're sinners who are falling short of the glory of God. Simple test. If we have poor we are not Jesus level of leadership. We look to Jesus Christ as the only frame of reference for goodness and truth. Praying consistently for humanity, humility, more wisdom and the love defined in 1 Cor 13 to shape your personal life. There is no way to stop humanity from being humanity unless you're God and I think it took him 33years to show us how much all of us miss him and miss the mark.
