Questions for Reflection and Discussion:
- If you read this text before the session, what did you think?
- How would you explain this text if a friend asked you what it meant and why it is in the Bible?
- Have you ever been tempted to worship a goat-demon? Just kidding. What are some ways we “mix” worship of God with devotion to idols in our own day?
- Backing up a bit: In a world where people don’t bow down to statues, how do we know when something has become an idol?
- In what ways have you slipped into expressions of worship that are more about convenience than devotion? What will you do about this?
