e) It then becomes a household idol.
(Through this QT I am motivated to give Consideration Before Criticism)

'Regarding People In Church Who Do Not Listen To God's Word.'

Chris.
In most Nations on this planet people have household idols. Some of these idols are crude, some simple and yet others beautifully made even though they make look ugly or a little fearsome. When we come to reading the Words of both Jesus Christ and Paul we can see the attitude that we need to have about these things in peoples' homes, especially if these homes have mixed families of True Believers and non-believers. We must have consideration before criticism.
