Today’s Thought “Graven Images…” G. Ward

1 Timothy 2:5-6 “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.”

Sport s paraphernalia and political bumper stickers of sorts seem acceptable (*1 Cor. 10:23), until one absolutely abhorrent concerning that team and politician is the disgust from the viewer that subtracts from the soul’s  surrender to how great HE is.

When the term factions is viewed as a biblical warning, it carries a connotation of “party making” whereas those groups rely on predominant methods/principles and seek to impose them on their societal neighbors (and when no conformity from those same neighbors is refused, great ridicule/ostracizing is the accompaniment). Believers are compelled to understand that the message of hope in Christ remains great “and there are few who find it” (Matt.7:14b).
