1 will drive them out of my house

I will drive them out of my house.

God cannot endure wickedness in his house, neither should we; God accounts it his dishonor to have wickedness and wicked men in his house, and so should we, as in the Church, ungodly men should be driven out of the house of God; we must not make God's house a hog-sty, an unclean place for all swine to come in, but they should be driven out as Christ drove out the buyers and sellers out of the Temple; yes, and so should all Christians drive out of their families wicked and ungodly servants (Psalm 101:7): "He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house" (says David) "and he that tells lies shall not tarry in his sight." It's a dishonor for any who make profession of religion, that though themselves be not scandalous in their own lives, yet there are those in their house that live scandalously, they have as wicked servants in their houses as any; this is a dishonor to religion. God drives out wickedness out of his house, and do you do so to yours.
