We see posts all the time with verses of the day and memes with verses on reader’s blogs. I was thinking about it, and thought that maybe we need an encouragement to study. So this idea was born. I hope some of my readers jump in and leave comments.
I had planned to do this once a month, but was a little slack. I apologize.
Theme 2
Thinking on the Ten Commandments. Should we have crosses hanging around our necks or for decorations in our homes?
I have often wondered about this symbol and have made my decision. But I love to hear other people’s thought on simple things such as this. Please won’t you reply and remember to add supporting verses. Do not respond to anyone else’s response. I hope you are comfortable enough to respond.
To be honest, I’m writing this as someone who’s wife wears a kind of cross shaped necklace. But I think crucifixes at the very least are beyond the pale. Even having an actual cross necklace is a bit morbid, like having an electric chair necklace or a noose necklace! My thinking I hope is informed by Scripture, principally the ten commandments that you refer to.
Thanks for the post, and I’m interested to know your view! 🙂

Ah, but this is a reader participation. I hope my readers will ‘study’ to find verses that support their answers. I will post something about idols within the next month. Health issues have pulled me from home.
