Our Lord demands absolute priority in our hearts and lives, and absolute loyalty to Him in every situation. Some people are surprised to see how serious the Lord is when it comes to fidelity, false teaching, and idolatry. He alone understands the real consequences of allowing false teaching to capture the hearts of the people He loves.

In Deuteronomy 13:1-18, we are reminded how important loyalty and obedience to God is and that it is a life or death situation.
