October 11, 2011 – Deuteronomy 13 – 14

So, things that could be interpreted as religious or spiritual are put into the world to test us.  Sometimes I wonder why God allows things that appear religious and maybe even helpful to some if they are eventually only going to lead away from Him, but here we see that it is to test our loyalty.  Keep that in mind if you ever investigate or test any of these “new age” type things.  There may be things that come from them that could be beneficial, but what are you going to pay in the long run. 

I think it is interesting that the law is that they are not to eat any insects.  Do locust count, because John the Baptist is known for eating honey and locust while he was out in the desert.
