I'm addressing something difficult, substantive and very important to God. No one is asking you to do anything. Maybe you have a tendency to take what other people say and act out on it (like almost tearing down an idol at another building), but surely no one is asking you to do anything. This is in your own mind.
If you have the strong need to continue to speak out like you are, then go ahead but please understand that as long as you are not presenting a reasoned argument it is probably just encouraging me to continue. Why? Because, I know that I am striking a chord on this. It may be tough to hear, which it has been for me when I look at it in relation to my own life, but I guarantee you it has been helpful to me. It's helped me understand that I need to pay real close attention to the Lord and His instruction for the sake of my family.

The point is simple. If you go hunting for idols and demons in every home of every saint who ever loved a message by WL in the LC, then you better have a home and a heart that is "squeaky clean," and passing regular inspections.
Whining, no. I was just reminiscing about "the old days" when I too was convinced that God was into "idol-smashing" rather than into saving people. I was only hoping that my mistakes would help you. Sorry, if my points are too brief, lacking "substance."
The "chord" you are striking is the "ding" from my sword. It's sharpened. Do you still want to use it? You mentioned the first idols in Exodus. Is it time for us all to become like Levi and slay his idol-worshiping brothers with the sword? I don't think so.
I'm not the only voice here that has been pleading with you to drop your current course of action. You are not my enemy. I'm just afraid for all the others you may "kill." You came to this forum with an unrecognizable passion that frankly has scared me. I realize that I may take a few hits, but that's OK, if I can protect others.
