Spiritual Imposters

This service is based on the story in the book of Joshua where the Gibeonites deceive Joshua and the Israelites into believing that they're from a far off land. They are, of course, actually neighbors that Joshua and Co. are supposed to destroy. I was thinking of this story as a bit of an appendix to the Daniel series because after we learn to get our ego in check, we still have to conquer the land. We're still in Babylon! So we have to go back, and establish the land... which means we have to restart the process of conquest all over again. This includes watching out for imposters, that is, things in our life that are evil that claim to be good.
