“The best response was the day about the idols. Perhaps it was the visual of the idol from a wood log that we found. We wrote on it with markers all of our potential idols. Friday night we burned it. It was neat to be able to share with them about the OT kings who had destroyed the idols and also those kings who left the idols standing. The lesson was a great springboard for talking about removing the idols in our lives.”
