Parenting Quote by Paul Wilbur
““If it seems bad to you to worship Adonai, then choose for yourselves today whom you will serve—whether the gods that your fathers worshipped that were beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will worship Adonai!” (Joshua 24:15 TLV). You can’t put off the decision forever because… a King is coming!””

Some may argue that pluralism offers tolerance; however, the quote emphasizes exclusive devotion
![“You shall make no covenant [contract or franchise] with them [foreigners, pagans], nor with their [pagan government] gods [laws or judges]. They shall not dwell in your land [and you shall not dwell in theirs by becoming a resident in the process of contracting with them], lest they make you sin…” quote by Anonymous](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/83c/anonymous-1_bible_you-shall-make-no-covenant-contract-or-f_2146197.jpg)
