What is the best practice for a people following God? How to do you keep a nation pure in religion? This was the word to Israel as they prepared to enter the promised land. They were to avoid detestable practices. What were these detestable practices? Here is a word...
"When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God."
What detestable practices cause us to stumble today? Spirituality is a fine line between sacred and scary. Religion does not save us for most any spiritual practice is considered religion. Deuteronomy builds on laws (10 Commandments), love, and best practices to keep following God...and not "fall for anything." This would be the best of "best practices" today.
