​Consequences of Sin Within The Church

• Joshua 7:11-12 - Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except you destroy the accursed from among you.
 
• I Corinthians 5:6b-7 - Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. 
 
• Ecclesiastes 9:18 - Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroys much good.
