Mr. Potato Head has been around a long time.
I remember playing with one way back in my childhood. Mr. Potato Head could help illustrate a Bible verse that can help us overcome one of our gravest problems.
The Problem
We have a problem today with division. Not the math kind, but the relationship kind. Families, churches, and in a greater sense all of society has difficulty solving division problems.
Family members remain at odds with one another because they refuse to take the difficult path to conflict resolution. Churches split and the cause of Christ suffers because members value their pride more than resolution. Myriad examples exist of the deep divisions in our society. Never before have I felt pulled in so many directions by others expecting me to “side” with their cause.
Whether a family squabble, church dissention, or societal division, I see a trend that people have lost their objectivity. Too many try to pull splinters out of the other side’s eye with a huge limb protruding from their own.
The Solution
The BEST Math books provided in the back of the book answers to the the exercises at each chapter’s end. The answer to all of life’s division problems are not in the back of the book, but in the text. One particular Bible verse, with Mr. Potato Head’s expert illustrative assistance, can provides the answer we need.
