As disciples of Christ, we are called to be part of our modern world, contextualizing the Gospel so it will be accessible to our friends. However, we must be aware of the unique but ever-present dangers that come with our culture, age, and technology, understanding that the world will always try to seduce our hearts away from Christ and the Gospel. In this series we explore these dangers, equipping us to be faithful followers of Christ in the iWorld.

Idolatry In the iWorld
