“If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out.”
How much more a view that casts the Word into doubt?
How much more a desire to conform with the proud?
How much more a focus that’s built upon a crowd?
“If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off,”
How much more a hobby that casts the Word from the top?
How much more a fist that’s quickly made and slow to stop?
How much more a friend who causes the kind heart to rot?
Inspired by Matthew 5:29-30, Leviticus 14:43-45
