1 Chronicles 14:12
New Living Translation (NLT)
12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, so David gave orders to burn them.
Often the soldiers wanted to keep souvenirs from the battle, but David ordered them to burn the idols. The only proper response to sin is to get rid of it completely. You cannot be a follower of God while continuing to hold on to parts of your past life that push God out of the center of your thoughts and actions. Eliminate whatever takes God's rightful place in your life, and follow Him with complete devotion.
