False Gods

-
Little children, keep yourselves away from idols

1 John 5:21


False gods,
idols,
golden calves,
proclamations of unbelievers intolerant of faith.

Isn't it clear
that there is one way,
one truth
and one life. (John 14:6)

The Father is not visible
through money,
possessions,
relationships or political division.

Look for Him
in His word,
in His creation
and in the promise of His only son.

Does our law allow these things? And with the question He points back to scripture. "Have you not read". All the answers are right there. But you have to have eyes to see and ears to hear. Why then... and but...? Because you are dense, hard to teach. Two shall unite, man and woman, as in the days of creation. No man may separate or redefine. They ask a question, specific, and the Lord's answer encompasses so much more. They question divorce and He defines marriage. Does His law allow these things? copyright 2018 - Donald P James Jr
