The Object of Your Worship: Are You Serving Jesus or Serving Yourself? Lessons from Mary and Judas in John 12
The modern world rarely sees the construction of literal golden calves, yet the human heart remains a place of constant idolatry. The renowned theologian Tim Keller shared a quote, originating from a reformer nearly 500 years ago, that defines the central struggle of humanity: "Our heart is an idol factory". Man's nature, in this sense, is a "perpetual factory of idols," constantly producing objects of worship.

It shows us that worship isn’t about where we go; it’s about who we worship and how. This article explores how Jesus transforms our view of worship from external locations to something rooted in our hearts—worshiping in spirit and truth.
