The Israelites did not drive out the wicked in Cannan (Numbers 33:55) as God told them to.  Just like the Israelites, we are often hesitant to drive sin out of our lives.  Hebrews 1:1-2 tells us to throw off "the sin that so easily entangles" us.  We all have idols that will cause serious problems later if we just don't let them go. - Pastor Mike
