Idols and Tyranny | Doug Wilson

About this sermon

In this sermon, Pastor Doug Wilson discusses the relationship between idols and tyranny. "One of the reasons we have trouble dealing realistically with evil in this world is that we have drawn mental cartoons of the evil beforehand. When someone says “tyranny,” we think of goose-stepping armies, missile parades, and funny-looking helmets. But then, when something genuinely bad happens in our own lives, and we see it with our own eyes, because it doesn’t match the cartoon we treat it as an anomaly, a one-off occurrence . . . a thing we don’t have a category for. But we need to have a category for something this common." This video is presented by Canon Press.
