Through the years, Jill and I have sought to help our kids deal with the idols of their hearts. One of the ways that we’ve helped them identify these dastardly enemies of our souls is by helping them see that when idols are close to being exposed, sinful responses usually follow. Anger, dismissal, covering up, hiding, or other things have helped our kids see where their idols lurk. I have often said that when I’m counseling people when they get mad, we’re “about to hit paydirt.” My point is that we will do anything to keep our idols.
