Idols - Me Joshua Higgins

The closing class of Joshua Higgins's Idol Minds study turns from the gods of more, control, now and image to the one he says stands behind them all: the self. Self-worship rarely looks like vanity, he argues: it looks like exhaustion, anxiety, and the quiet conviction that if I don't hold this together nobody will. Working from the grace that precedes the commandments in Exodus 20 and Jesus's call in Mark 8 to take up a cross daily, the hour presses one question: who is sitting on the throne, since it is never empty?
