13 You shall tear down their altars and break their pillars and cut down their Asherim 14 (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), 15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they whore after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and you are invited, you eat of his sacrifice, 16 and you take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters whore after their gods and make your sons whore after their gods.
God is Jealous. He says so without excuse or explanation. It is simply fact. But His jealousy, or zeal, for His people is a good thing. And the idols in our lives are a bad thing - for us, and for those around us - especially our families. Do we want to leave a heritage of worshiping the true and living God, or enslaved to our idols and those of others?
