Success, true love, and the life you’ve always wanted. Many of us placed our faith in these things, believing they held the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver.The recent economic meltdown has cast a harsh new light on these pursuits. In a matter of months, fortunes, marriages, careers, and a secure retirement have disappeared for millions of people. No wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful.
But the truth is that we made lesser gods of these good things – gods that can’t give us what we really need. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings – and now is the perfect time to meet him again, or for the first time.
The Bible tells us that the human heart is an “idol-factory,” taking good things and making them into idols that drive us. In Counterfeit Gods, Timothy Keller applies his trademark approach to show us how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message will cement Keller’s reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time–for both the faithful and the skeptical.

Janji-janji Kosong dari Uang, Seks, dan Kekuasaan serta Harapan yang Terpenting
Kesuksesan, uang, cinta sejati, dan kehidupan yang selalu Anda rindukan. Sebagian besar dari kita meletakkan iman kita dalam hal-hal tersebut, kita percaya bahwa hal-hal tersebut bisa membawa kita kepada kebahagiaan. Keruntuhan ekonomi yang terjadi belakangan ini telah menghancurkan berbagai impian yang telah dibangun. Dalam hitungan bulan, kekayaan, pernikahan, karir, dan pensiun yang nyaman telah hilang dari hadapan jutaan orang. Tidak heran banyak dari kita yang merasa terhilang, kesepian, putus asa, dan marah. Sesungguhnya kita telah membuat hal-hal yang baik menjadi allah-allah kecil kita – allah-allah yang tidak bisa memberi apa yang sebenarnya kita butuhkan. Hanya ada satu Allah yang bisa sepenuhnya memenuhi kebutuhan kita – dan sekarang adalah waktu yang paling baik untuk bertemu dengan Dia kembali, atau mungkin untuk pertama kalinya.
Alkitab berkata bahwa hati manusia adalah “pabrik berhala,” membuat hal-hal baik menjadi berhala yang mengatur kita. Keller menerapkan pendekatan khasnya untuk menunjukkan kita bagaimana pemahaman yang tepat terhadap Alkitab bisa menyingkapkan kebenaran dari iman kita dan kerinduan hati kita terdalam. Pesan yang berkuasa ini akan memperkuat reputasi Keller sebagai seorang pendeta dan pemikir yang kritis. Buku ini ditulis pada waktu yang penting sekali – bagi orang-orang beriman maupun yang skeptis.

Sucesso, dinheiro, amor verdadeiro — a vida perfeita. Muitos de nós depositam a fé e a esperança nessas coisas, acreditando que sejam capazes de trazer a felicidade. No fundo, porém, sabemos que nada disso pode garantir satisfação plena. Por isso não é de surpreender que nos sintamos perdidos, solitários, desencantados e ressentidos. Só o Deus verdadeiro pode satisfazer totalmente nossos desejos, e este é o momento perfeito para encontrá-lo novamente... ou, quem sabe, pela primeira vez.
Em Deuses falsos, Timothy Keller mostra que uma compreensão adequada da Bíblia revela a verdade acerca da sociedade e de nosso próprio coração. Nessa mensagem poderosa, enxergamos nossa tendência de buscar em outras coisas aquilo que só Deus pode nos dar. Também somos apresentados a um novo caminho: aquele que leva a uma esperança que não pode ser abalada pelas circunstâncias da vida.

Success, money, true love, and the life you’ve always wanted. Many of us place our
faith in these things, believing they hold the key to happiness, but with a sneaking
suspicion they might not deliver. Is it any wonder, then, that so many of us feel lost,
alone, disenchanted, and resentful?
The truth is that we make counterfeit gods of these good things – gods that can’t
give us what we really need. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our
cravings – and now is the perfect time to meet him again, or for the first time.
Based on the book Counterfeit Gods, written by New York Times bestselling author
and pastor Tim Keller, this series explores the issue of idolatry throughout the Bible.
It exposes our idols. It reveals how we fall victim to the subtle temptation to take
something that is good in itself and elevate it above all other things in the search for
security and meaning. Ultimately, this series seeks to help us to identify our idols,
turn from them, and triumph over them!
We pray that this study guide will be a valuable resource for you as we explore this
significant topic. Use it in your personal devotional time or connect with and work
through the material as a group. We believe it will be a real blessing for our church.
Tips for using this study guide in a small group can be found in the Appendix.
