Making a Good Thing a God Thing: Why Your Best Gifts Are Wrecking Your Faith
Making a Good Thing a God Thing: Why Your Best Gifts Are Wrecking Your Faith
"What if there were only three hidden gods behind every sin—and Scripture named them long ago? In this teaching, J. Warner Wallace walks through Ezekiel 36 and John 3 to show how sex, money, and power become modern idols, how even good gifts like marriage and ministry can quietly wreck our faith, and how God turns hearts of stone into hearts that actually listen.
Recorded live at a chapel on the campus of Compass Bible Institute, this message explores:
• Why Ezekiel 36 connects water, Spirit, and idols to a radical new identity in God
• How false devotion keeps our identity from being rooted in Yahweh—and how God smashes our idols
• The three motives behind every crime, every sin, and every identity crisis (sex, money, power)
• How sanctification is a “crooked hall,” not a clean doorway—and why daily re-centering your identity in Christ matters
If you’ve ever realized that your identity is wrapped around a good thing turned god thing—a relationship, platform, ministry, or success—this teaching will help you see your idols, repent, and move toward a more secure identity in Christ alone." from the video introduction
