“That American Christians are known among many not for our primary allegiance to God’s kingdom, but rather for our allegiance to wealth, power, and voting blocs suggests that the very fabric of our churches has become idolatrous. Thus the idols plaguing the American church are not made of wood, metal, or stone, but instead lie in ideas, passions, pursuits, and relationships that continually demand more of our hearts and lives. And like every idol that humans have ever worshiped and served, they will destroy our soul.”
Eric Costanzo, David Yang, and Matthew Sorens, Inalienable: How Marginalized Kingdom Voices Can Help Save the American Church. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2022, page 67.
