Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah... Thus the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.
The God of our fathers is more than capable of conquering the idols of our neighbors. We should be shouting them down, but not before we shout out to our God. You can tucker yourself out calling other people's idols names and have no energy left to call out to your God. By the grace of God, we can and ought to do both, but we must do them in the correct order and with the proper emphasis. In other words, we must first call out to our God with all of our might and then spend our excess breath on calling out the idols of our neighbors. By relying upon our God, we will raze the false gods of our world and by depending upon the Spirit of God, we will strike down the spirit of the age. The power of God will prevail over the prisoners of the moment.
Zion over zeitgeist.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
Christianity will prevail and take captive every prisoner of the moment. He will overturn the tables in the cult of the cool.
