5 Ingredients of Bold Obedience.

Idol = anything you love, trust, and crave more than God.  
 
4 Root Idols: 
  • Power: a longing for influence or recognition.  
  • Control: a longing to have everything go according to my plan.  
  • Comfort: a longing for pleasure.  
  • Approval: a longing to be accepted or desired  
 2. Understand that people are watching (:8, 12-13)  
3. Be persistent in your courage (:13-15)  
4. Trust God to come through (:16-17)  
5. Draw the line ahead of time (:18)
