No Pictures Allowed

(Brian Schreiber) One commercial for photography sited in their ad: “Image is everything!” God couldn’t agree more. When attending a theatrical show, you will hear many times, No photography is allowed during the performance. They want to sell you pictures outside. You might hear the same words used in a museum or sites in Washington D.C. security issues are spoken of. These verses before us this week make it pretty clear that God doesn’t want His picture taken either. Nor does He want a statue made, or any other type of an image. The second of the Ten Commandments is really misunderstood by some because they have never been exposed to true idol worship, to comprehend exactly what God is saying. However, there are truths given in these verses that we all need to learn and apply. We all have created idols.
