Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller

 

Sorrow is pain for which there are no other sources of consolation: losing one good thing among others. Despair is unconsolable: it comes from losing an ultimate thing: an idol. Taking an incomplete joy of this world  and building your entire life on it. Idols will break your heart every time. 

Of Asa and of Hezekiah
