Do You Have an Idol? - John A Halford - June 1982

John A Halford

Surely idolatry could not be a problem today! Don't be too sure - first read here about the practical applications of the Second Commandment. Do you have an idol? "What! Me, have an idol?" you might respond. "Don't be ridiculous! Of course not. The very idea of a truly converted Christian having an idol is ludicrous." God's chosen people would never give space to a grinning graven image, would we? Why, we've all gotten rid of pictures of "Jesus," statues of praying hands and other religious trivia. While, strictly speaking, these items might not be considered idols, they are nevertheless not needed as aids to worship by those who can worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
