Neither shalt thou set thee up any image: which the
LORD thy God hateth. Deuteronomy,
Chapter 16, verse 22.
I trust God to guide me on this one. I do know from everything I have read that
God wouldn’t want me to have a statue of Buddha or a Greek or Roman god or
goddess in my house, even if they are just for decorative purposes.
I don’t feel He wants us to pray to any religious
article thinking that article is God, Himself.
I wear a cross around my neck but I don’t pray to it. It just reminds me of what an important part
Jesus plays in my everyday life. I have
pictures of Jesus in my house. I get a
pleasant feeling when I look at them, because they remind me of all Jesus has
done for us. I don’t pray to the picture
or think the picture is Jesus.
You and God alone know whether you are being led
astray by these objects or not. Let God
be your guide on this one. He will give
you good instincts, if you let Him.
