The Moral Law of God, The Second Commandment

'Take heed of the idolatry of image-worship. Our nature is prone to this sin as dry wood to take fire; and, indeed, what need of so many words in the commandment… but to show how subject we are to this sin of false worship? It concerns us, therefore, to resist this sin. Where the tide is apt to run with greater force, there we had need to make the banks higher and stronger. The plague of idolatry is very infectious. “They were mingled among the heathen, and served their idols.” Psalm 106:35, 36. It is my advice to you, to avoid all occasions of this sin.” – Thomas Watson
