What IS idolatry?
By Elizabeth Prata I recently wrote about the “Trad wife/Trad life” issue. I said that idolizing a lifestyle can replace genuine worship of biblical life standards. Anything can be an idol, including a lifestyle. I decided to look into the topic of idolatry to understand it better.
