How can Christians respond to modern-day idolatry?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should respond to modern-day idolatry by sharing the gospel and standing firm in their faith.

In confronting modern-day idolatry, Christians are called to follow the example of Paul in Athens. Rather than ignoring the presence of idols, which can manifest as consumerism, pleasure, or self-promotion, believers must be moved to action. This begins with recognizing the spiritual blindness around them and feeling a genuine sorrow for those who are lost. Paul did not remain silent; he boldly proclaimed the gospel in the marketplace and on Mars Hill. Christians today are similarly called to engage in their communities, sharing the message of Christ with compassion, clarity, and conviction. By shining the light of the gospel in a culture filled with false gods, believers can help others find true hope and redemption in Jesus.
