Soooo…I try not to post my thoughts on theology in the public domain too often. This is because I am by no means a fancy theologian. Regardless, this is an issue that’s been bouncing around in my head for a really long time now and I think it warrants discussing.
Mark Driscoll gave a lecture/preached about Ministry Idolatry at Advance09. His key points included the following:
- Idols are often good things turned into god things which are bad things
- To idolize one thing is to demonize another
I realize this controversy is a wee bit…played out, but it’s still current nevertheless. This may not even be a very original thought.
So here’s the question I’ll be trying to tackle for this next series of posts: Has the Western church turned heterosexuality into an idol?
I will by no means be trying to make an authoritative statement on the matter. It’s more like thinking out loud–and I’m asking you all to help me along with the process.
