Bible References:  Ezra 10:1-44; 1 Peter 2:9; Romans 7 Ezra confronted the people over their sin especially with their marriages to foreign women.  Why?  Because unlike Ruth, who had chosen “You God will be my God and Your people, my People”, these foreign women had brought their gods and culture into the homes of the Jewish people. They did not live in the ‘temple’, which we today are called to live in.  So Ezra had to confront the problem which took a lot of courage.  God didn’t want the people to just confess their sin, He wanted them to repent.  When someone confesses they say “I’ve done the wrong thing” however, unless a person repents, they will eventually repeat the sin.  Repentance is about turning away from what you are doing wrong and going God’s way.

The Lord will work with one person to change the world.  Jesus was the most radical man who ever lived.  David knew his election is of God.  God had appointed him to do a job.  He took his calling seriously. When God calls you to do something, and you don't you let down the side. Take the things out of your life that destroys the body. Joshua 1:7-9 If you want to prosper in your life you meditate on the Word of God. Our Churches should not be run from the grave, Jesus is alive! Deut 11:1-21 Tow  live Gods ways if we dont teach our children Gods ways someone else will teach our children and it wont be Gods way Ephesians 2
