Pastor Paul Torres continues with part two of an introductory message into the book of Ezra. Last week, Pastor Paul laid the groundwork for this important study by reviewing the history of the people of Israel from Abraham through the captivity. This week, Pastor Paul continues digging deeper into the national disaster that very nearly destroyed Israel. Pastor Paul tells us that the enemy has two main tactics to attack God’s people: Either he tries to annihilate them, or he tries to assimilate them. The second tactic nearly worked with Israel before the captivity. As they became curious about the immoral gods and goddesses of the nations around them, they fell into gross immorality. In this message, Pastor Paul shows us some of the stomach-twisting evil they participated in, and makes a connection to our tendency to love the world today.
