We love our families and that's a good thing. But how do we know when our family is becoming an idol?
Steve Hoppe, author of Sipping Saltwater, highlights three lifestyle patterns that might indicate you're worshipping family.
How do you know if you're worshipping your family?
You're not worshipping God because of your family: you're skipping church and not spending time with God
You're not investing in community because you think that your family is your community
You indulge your children and allow your spouse to sin in order to please them and keep peace
Sound familiar? Steve Hoppe's book, Sipping Saltwater, enables readers to identify their own idols and explains how to quench their thirst with Jesus’ living water—the only drink that will ever truly satisfy us both now and for eternity​.
