Keller, One Thing, and Heart Idolatry

"My fears are directly proportional to the vulnerability of the things that are my greatest joys."
--Tim Keller

"Anything but God and His will is vulnerable." --TK


Again, this passage makes us ask--what are our idols? What are good things that we've let become our ONE thing.

There is a book coming out this summer which promises to be very helpful. Written by Dan Allender & Tremper Longman... Breaking the Idols of Your Heart
"This book uses the category of 'idols' as a creative way to understand not only a difficult biblical book (Ecclesiastes) but also the very way our hearts work. It brings a great deal of clarity where there has been confusion. Recommended."

—Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City
