Two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. That phrase has been adopted from a quantum physics principle. Our God has a similar, spiritual principle. Godliness and godlessness cannot occupy our spiritual lives at the same time. We will look at the story of the Philistines placing the ark of God next to their idol Dagon. God teaches the Philistines, the children of Israel and us a very valuable lesson: When you place the light
of God next to the forces of darkness, the light of God always wins!
