One morning, the Lord awakened me to the song Endless Alleluia, and a vision of idols toppling to the ground on their faces. He spoke to me about how we, His people, too often try to “fix” our sin problem somehow on our own, as if our willpower is strong enough. It’s not, of course.Continue reading “Toppling Idols”
