Ezra & Nehemiah (pt. 7) - Ezra ch. 9

Pastor Brewer discusses God's command to His people to stay religiously pure and separate from the other (pagan) nations. Those Israelites who had married goyim are encouraged to divorce their pagan spouses ... divorce here is seen as the lesser of two evils, when compared to importing alien gods into Israel's camp. Pastor Brewer concludes by reminding us that God's people will always sin and wander, and that we must praise a God whose tolerance causes Him to forgive our behavior.
