Podcasts about idols

Another fun-filled milestone episode of Nerds Talking The Podcast!

When Jesus convicts you, the right response isn't excuses, delay, or self-defense—it's repentance. Turn around, tell the truth, and hand Him the keys you've been clutching. Repentance isn't humiliation; it's the doorway to freedom, clarity, and a restored relationship with your creator. And in today's message, Pastor Bill will invite you to choose the courage to change course, trusting God's mercy to cleanse, His wisdom to redirect, and His joy to meet you on the other side.

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings shares how Paul counted every achievement as loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ, reminding us that Jesus himself is the prize. He calls us to realign our priorities so nothing comes before relationship with Him.

In this edition, Rabbi Dobrusin connects the story of Abraham in his father's Idol Shop with a situation taking place today in our nation. 

Former England cricketer Phil Tufnell, who played in five Ashes series, joins Gabby and Mark to share his love letter to the Ashes, just weeks out from the competition. He has us in stitches with his stories from Down Under, from outrageous sledging to his hilarious first meeting with his England team mates. And how does he think England will get on this winter? And on that theme Gabby and Mark chat about "torture" for England in the current Rugby League Ashes, England taking on Australia in the Rugby Union Autumn Internationals this weekend, and the England v Australia Women's Cricket World Cup Final that almost was before England's demolition at the hands of South Africa.

Are you living for God part-time? In today's message from 1 Kings 18, Jaime challenges us to take an honest look at where our devotion truly lies. Elijah asked the people of Israel, “How long will you falter between two opinions?” They knew who God was, yet their hearts and lives were divided. This episode explores: • Why we struggle to trust and follow God with our whole heart • How modern believers can unknowingly fall into idolatry • The difference between striving for empty sources of fulfillment and resting in the One true God • What it means to rebuild the altar of the Lord in your own life • How God responds when we call on Him with sincerity and faith The false gods of this world demand everything and give nothing in return. But the living God responds in power when we turn fully toward Him. Today is an invitation to move out of lukewarm living and into a deeper, mature walk of obedience and relationship.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 13ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1974 fuair beirt fhear bás agus ghortaíodh beirt eile timpeall meán oíche nuair a chuaigh a charr isteach chuig leoraí taobh amuigh de Tamhlacht I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 2006 chan duine amháin ó chór do Michael Flatley ag searmanas cuimhneacháin don Chéad Chogadh Domhanda agus chuir sé cheist uirthi chun can ag a bhainis. I 1999 tháinig na plean amach chun suíomh de 99 acra cóngarach le bóthar Luimnigh san Aonach Urmhumhan ag cruinniú idir na comhairleoir agus na forbróir. Cheannaigh siad an suíomh I gcóir 2.2 milliúin punt agus bhí sé mar óstach do rácaí Ormond Hunt. I 2011 bhuaigh Muileann na mUamhan an craobhchomórtas don deichiú uair. Bhuaigh siad I gcoinne Carrick Davins I gCluain Meala. Bhuaigh Eoin Kelly agus a fhoireann 2-20 go dtí 11 pointe. Sin Justin Timberlake le Sexy Back – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2006. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1990 chuaigh George Michael chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena hamhrán Praying For Time. Bhí sé seo a 6ú huimhir a haon a fuair sé I Meiriceá agus bhí sé an t-amhrán deireanach a fuair uimhir a haon. I 2002 chuaigh Will Young chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena chéad albam From Now On. Bhuaigh sé an chéad sraith de Pop Idol agus bhí an tóir air agus bhí sé an chéad bhuaiteoir den chlár ina iomláine. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Caleb McLaughlin I Meiriceá I 2001 agus rugadh aisteoir Kate Walsh I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1967 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sí. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 13th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1974: 2 middle-aged men died and 2 others were seriously injured shortly before midnight when their car ploughed into the back of a truck outside Tallaght, Co.Dublin 2006: A young choir soloist impressed Lord of the dance Michael Flatley at a recent WW1 memorial ceremony that he has asked her to specially perfrom at his wedding. 1999- Plans for an ambitious a ninety nine acre site adjacent to the Limerick road in Nenagh were unveiled to members of Nenagh Urban District Council at a meeting between the developer and councillors. The site, which was purchased for in the region of £2.2 millio,n is well known to visitors to the town as it has hosted the Ormond Hunt point-to-point races  2011- Mullinahone secured their 10th South Senior Hurling Championship.

I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Listen along as we continue our series through Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 17:16-34 - Nathan Acts 17:16-34 “Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God, your functional savior.” Martin Luther Isaiah 44:12-20   The gospel does not come as a disembodied message, but as the message of a community which claims to live by it and which invites others to adhere to it. Therefore, the community's life must be so ordered that it "makes sense" to those who are so invited. Leslie Newbigin  

We no longer bow to statues — we bow to screens.In Episode 3 of Living Theology, Brendon Naicker reflects on how convenience has replaced communion, and how Christians can reclaim worship in a culture that prizes control.This is not about abandoning technology — it's about restoring holiness to our habits.

I am using readings from the 49 Week Bible Challenge as the basis for these devotions. I encourage you to join me in this discipline. Today's readings are Acts 18:19-28; 19; Jeremiah 10; 2 Kings 21. [In yesterday's post I actually jumped a day ahead to 1 Corinthians 1 and other passages. We'll be back on track soon.]

How often do we pour our energy and time into things that add no real value to our lives? Just like during “The Gold Rush” when so many chased after what turned out to be fool's gold instead of the real thing. In our culture, where we want everything right now, don't trade the real riches of God's promises for immediate gratification!

Send us a textThere are a number of very important issues that were addressed by the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. Among them is the recovery of biblical spiritual worship offered to God alone. How we worship must be in accordance with God's special revelation first to Israel under Moses and then to the fullness of truth given in the person and actions of Jesus of Nazareth. "The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." John 1:17This episode looks at God's first revelation under the Old Covenant through Moses. The first 3 commandments God spoke from Mount Sinai concern his worship. God alone is the object of our worship. His worship is exclusive and tolerates no idols. Under the Old Covenant God's worship involved an elaborate priesthood, sacrifices ,vestments , days, ect. An imitation of these practices rose in the history of the church and is seen in the worship practices of Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. The various Protestant Reformers rejected the use of idols in God's worship. They looked to Christ as the fulfillment of the law and ground worship on the New Covenant soken of in. the New Testament.Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

Episode 204 - Idols, Demons, and Humans - The Three Phases Between Fathers and SonsEvery father and son travel through three powerful emotional phases in their relationship — idolization, demonization, and humanization. This episode explores the evolution of how sons see their fathers as they age and grow in understanding.The conversation dives deep into how time and experience reshape perspective. When we're young, our fathers are heroes who can do no wrong. As teenagers or young adults, we often swing to the opposite extreme — blaming them for flaws and mistakes. But with age and reflection, we begin to see them as people, shaped by their own stories, pain, and imperfections.Listeners will hear reflections on forgiveness, empathy, and how acknowledging our fathers' humanity can free us from resentment. It's a raw, honest look at what it means to move from judgment to understanding — and how that shift can bring healing and connection across generations.every father–son relationship evolves through three distinct emotional phases — idolization, demonization, and humanization.When sons are young, they look up to their dads as heroes who can fix anything and know everything. As they grow older, that pedestal starts to wobble. The “demonize” phase emerges when sons begin to see their father's imperfections — authority starts to feel restricting, discipline can sting, and rebellion finds its voice. Yet with time, maturity, and perspective, something profound happens: sons begin to humanize their fathers. They see them not as flawless role models or as antagonists, but as real men with their own struggles, stories, and scars. This is the moment of reconciliation and empathy — where love and understanding can replace judgment and resentment.​Why This Matters for DadsResearch shows that how fathers model emotional openness and resilience deeply shapes their sons' mental health, empathy, and sense of masculinity. Studies from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NIH) emphasize that father–son relationships framed around empathy and emotional availability help young men develop confidence, communication skills, and healthier relationships with others.​Dads who demonstrate both strength and vulnerability raise sons who are more adaptable and emotionally aware. This transformation — from authority figure to human connection — is a cornerstone of generational healing.Takeaways for ListenersReflect on which phase you're currently living in with your own father or son. Are you idolizing, demonizing, or humanizing?Lead with curiosity — understanding the experiences that shaped your dad helps soften resentment.Model emotional honesty with your son; let him see you fail, repair, and grow. That transparency teaches love in motion.Remember: forgiveness isn't weakness; it's the bridge that connects generations.Every father and son will eventually confront the mirror of time and empathy. In seeing our dads as humans, we not only reclaim compassion — we redefine what it truly means to be a father ourselves.For more information:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9513388/___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

God commands us to worship Him alone, for He is a jealous God who knows our hearts naturally make idols from what we can see and touch. But Jesus, the image of the invisible God, frees us from the curse of idolatry. Through the Holy Spirit, we are guided to worship by faith and hear the Lord's Words in our hearts.

For many people, God is bad news, and religion is the cause of all the problems in the world. But Christianity is not about religion. It's about the reality of God as a person who is awesome and incomparable. He has no equal. There is no one like Him. God is able to help you, your family, our culture and our world because He is far above any and every human problem we may face. His greatness is beyond human comprehension.    Today many of us may be busy, discouraged and depressed. Looking at ourselves, looking down, comparing ourselves to others. Busy with our to do lists, our work, the piles of laundry, or discouraged by the state of the nation and of society. But everything changes when we get a new perspective of the greatness of God. What is so big to us is so small to Him. What has impressed, impacted and impeded our lives so far is as nothing to Him.    We've seen in Isaiah 40:1-5 that God is a God of consolation who wants to comfort us. He's a God of preparation – He wants to get us ready and shape us up for the best lives. And He wants us to have a revelation of His glory to come. But the rest of this opening chapter of the second part of Isaiah lays the foundation of who God really is. We see: 1. Far above natural creation (Isaiah 40:12,22,25-28) 2. Far above all idols (Isaiah 40:18-20; Romans 1:25; Genesis 1:31) 3. Far above human understanding (Isaiah 40:13-14,27; 1 Corinthians 1:27) 4. Far above the nations (Isaiah 40:15-17) 5. Far above human rulers (Isaiah 40:23-24,28; Daniel 7:14; Isaiah 6-11) Apply  1. Far above natural creation (Isaiah 40:12,22,25-28). We are told to ‘lift your eyes and look to the heavens…' The more we know about our world and its relationship to entities beyond our world makes us realise how much we don't know. Even though we can travel quickly around our world there is no disguising that the oceans and deserts and continents of our world are simply vast. Even bigger is the universe. So how much greater is the God who made them? The Bible is clear that there is a God and that He is the Creator of all we know. (See: Bill Bryson ‘A short History of nearly everything'; Olivier Bonnaissies and Michel-Yves Bolloré ‘God: Science, the Evidence'; Lee Strobel ‘The Case For A Creator'). If you want to study the arguments in more depth, you can read the books, but basically their conclusions are very much in line with the vision of the prophet Isaiah who gives us a picture of the almighty creator of a vast creation.  2. Far above all idols (Isaiah 40:18-20). Almost half of Isaiah chapters 40 to 55 talk about rival gods and the idol of the people had turned to worship. Here Isaiah compares how ridiculous it is for someone to worship a lump of wood with some gold or silver attached to it over the greatness of the one true God. The apostle Paul also highlighted this (Romans 1:25). Of course God ‘saw all that he had made, and it was very good' (Genesis 1:31) but that does not mean we should exchange our worship of God to worship things created by Him or for His glory – such as looking to the stars for guidance through horoscopes, instead of looking to God who created the stars. Idols can topple. And when we put anything in place of our God, those things will eventually fall. Only our God endures forever. 3. Far above human understanding (Isaiah 40:13-14, 27). The mind of God is far beyond the intelligence of any human cleverness (1 Corinthians 1:27). No-one can understand the mind of the Lord, except the Lord reveals a portion of His thinking to us through His word the Bible.  The most qualified academic, or the most convinced rationalist, the most so-called ‘enlightened' spiritualist, may be publicly celebrated for the brilliance of their intellect. But compared to God they are nothing.  4. Far above the nations (Isaiah 40:15-17). Nations are nothing that will make a difference in the big picture. This gives us a good perspective! Through history nations and empires have arisen in great power. The Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans etc. Yet walk around the Acropolis or the Coliseum today and they are ruins. The Romans thought they could persecute Jesus and Paul and the early Christians in such violent ways as they saw fit, but pagan Rome is gone and Christianity survives today. Even the British Empire ‘where the sun never set' seemed impossible to change, yet now look at what humbled and humiliated state our nation is in. Look at the nations today and it's still the same – India and its 1.46 billion people, China and its more than 1.4 billion people,… it might sound big to us, but to God it's all just a drop.  5. Far above human rulers (Isaiah 40:23-24). So many rulers of this world have been so proud and arrogant. Alexander the Great, Napolean, Stalin, Hitler who boasted of a 1000 year Reich that lasted little more than a decade. Hitler committed suicide in a bunker. Mussolini was strung up by his own countrymen. Ceausescu of Romania seemed an all-powerful dictator but saw his rule collapse in days. Everybody, even the great Queen Elizabeth II, has a limited reign. Only God is eternal (Isaiah 40:28). Daniel had a great vision of the God whose rule was eternal (Daniel 7:14). So do not be so impressed with the powers of this world. They will all pass away.  Our God is far above natural creation, all idols, and all human understanding, He is far above the nations and above human rulers. But what does this mean for us? Well Isaiah says to the people that this God is your God. He is bigger than your sad history of captivity. He is bigger than your sadness and depression. He is bigger than your worries. He is bigger than your debt. This is why God is good news (Isaiah 40:6-11). God is with you, God is for you. This great and almighty God gently wants to lead you and keep you close to His heart. So decide to put your confidence is this great God today and every day.

The Gospel in a Culture of IdolsText: Acts 17:16–22 (ESV)

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: October 19, 2025Synopsis: We're headed into our next week of Image, Idols & Fruit - a series where we are studying the fruit of the spirit and this week we are discussing KINDNESS. Kindness can be contrasted with selfish ambition. One of these things convinces us to serve ourselves while the other guides us to serve others. Which also means that one of these things aligns with the way of Jesus and one aligns with the way of the world.Intro Music:     Inspire And Motivate by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com           Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comOutro Music:     Inspiring Beat by Alex Menco | https://alexmenco.net           Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com           Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported         https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US

The two best-selling "Christian" books of the last decade were "The Shack" and "Jesus Calling." Is this a reformation of Christian literature? "The Shack" has sold 25 million copies, and "Jesus Calling" has sold 15 million, and "The Shack" will be produced as a major motion picture, coming out in a few weeks. Here's the big question we address here. . . . How do you speak with "Christian" friends who like "The Shack" and other similarly bad books?

We don't have the power to transform the culture we live in, but we do have the power to be obedient to God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Satan's responses to God's movements. In the Old Testament book of 2 Chronicles, we read about King Hezekiah's obedience to the Lord, which brought about both a renewal of his culture and pushback, hardship, and threats from the enemy. However, as Pastor Allen shows, God is always faithful to intervene when we choose His ways. Like King Hezekiah, we will experience backlash when we live for Jesus—but if we will choose obedience to God in an unrelenting, courageous way, God will do what we can't: transform our culture.

Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church is back with Jenny to explore the cultural and theological crisis facing America today, emphasizing the need to return to a biblical understanding of God amidst rising secularism.  Dr. Lutzer shares wisdom and insight on our culture and the distorted view it has of God. He shows us how to engage people with truth, as he encourages believers to persevere and be the light in an ever increasingly dark world. His latest book, “The Eclipse of God:: Our Nation's Disastrous Search for a More Inclusive Deity” exposes our nation's disastrous efforts to redefine God in its own image. The resulting damage is evident in our world and churches today. “Americans don't mind saying they believe in God, just as long as they get to choose the God in whom they believe.” He explains objective truth has existed outside of us, but now the criterion of truth has now moved to inside the individual human being, so that's why there is so much confusion in the world today. “Love and Truth are not enemies - love rejoices in the truth.” God has not changed. We need God for truth, for morality and law. Dr. Lutzer emphasizes we need to return to the God of the Bible and not the gods of popular culture. As believers in Christ, we need to make sure we do not bow to the culture, but teach what the Bible teaches and live with the consequences. The question is,“What price are you willing to pay for  truth?” You can hear Dr. Lutzer on his daily radio broadcast “Running To Win.” He is an award-winning author of over 50 books, including “We Will Not Be Silenced.” You can find Pastor Lutzer's sermons, articles, and media at moody church.org.  Their interview is from at the 2025 NRB - International Christian Media Convention. You can hear the entire interview on a future “Crossroads With Jenny Bushkell. You can see his videos on you tube and for more info on Dr.Lutzer, his books and “Running To Win go to: moodymedia.org.

Do I Have Glowworms Living in My Heart? / Idols Stop Dazzling as Devotion Dawns When the real sun of devotion rises, all the little stars we once worshiped start to look dim. Drawing from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.13, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how Brahmā's cosmic humbling reveals a truth we all face: the glowworms of worldly admiration can't compete with divine light.

A — About: Jeremiah confronts the Jews in Egypt for repeating the sins that brought ruin to Jerusalem—idolatry and rebellion. Despite God's mercy and warnings, they stubbornly cling to false gods, proving hardened hearts that refuse repentance. B — Best Verse: "Therefore hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: 'Behold, I have sworn by My great name,' says the Lord, 'that My name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt.'" — Jeremiah 44:26 (NKJV) C — Call to Action: Turn your heart away from the idols of this world. Forsake rebellion and pride. Humbly return to God in repentance, seeking refuge in Christ alone.
