I came here today to tell you today that you radically love God when you have no other gods before Him.
The Greatest Commandment is the key to keeping all Ten — and that’s Radical Love!
Obedience is an act of radical love.
If you love God, His commandments will not be burdensome.
Law without love is legalism. But love without law is lawlessness.
God commands; He does not demand.

The devil believes and will never follow.
You believe, and should follow.

לֹאיִהְיֶהלְךָ (Lo Yihyeh Lekha) — “there shall not be to you”
אֱלֹהִיםאֲחֵרִים (Elohim Acherim) — “other gods”
עַל־פָּנָי (Al-Panay) — “before My face”

עַל־פָּנָי (Al-Panay) — “before My face”
When God says "no other gods before Me", it literally means "no other gods in My face/in My presence."
This isn't just about priority—it's about exclusivity.
Idolatry is spiritual adultery—it places rivals "in God's face."
Simple Definition: God comes first—no competition.
Warning:
If Satan can make you selfish, distracted, or consumed with lesser things, he's accomplished his goal.

Jesus did not say, "Deny the devil, pick up your cross and follow Me." He said, "Deny yourself."
Warning:
Satan's goal is always idolatry—stealing worship that belongs to God alone.

Jesus teaches us how to win in spiritual warfare—keep God first.

I have been to the nations and have seen what other gods have to offer. No matter the nation, and no matter the false god, there is only one true God: Jesus. Every other god leaves people empty; only Jesus saves.
Who do you say that He is?
