“Family is Everything” from Breaking Bad
http://youtu.be/k0aud-0CNuQ
There are few idolatries like the family idolatry. This idolatry is nearly unquestioned in the evangelical church. What is one if its most prominent ministries named: “Focus on the ______?” Christian have rebranded morality as “_________ values”?
Idolatries make promises they can’t keep. Idolatries lure us into slavery that crushes and destroys. The family idol is up there near the top. Jesus was single. Paul was single.
