This theme has been so frequently before me--- sermons at church, devotionals, blogs that I've subscribed to over the years. We read Ezra 4-6 at church on Sunday about the neighbors of the Israelites that wanted to "help" rebuild the temple. They said that they worshiped the same God but the Israelites knew they were idolaters and turned them away. How did they react? They appealed to the king to stop the Israelites and were successful in stopping the reconstruction for 15 years. Another email I received had this quote below from Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones. Let us not only make a break from the evil outside of us but the evil inside of us!
