Whatever we do, whenever we do it, if it is offensive to God, it will find us out.
When we assimilate, we compromise. We are to be separate from those who do not belong to God. Not by isolating ourselves, but rather keeping separate but connected.
God at first refused to deliver Israel because they had forsaken Him and no longer served Him.
Jephthah showed nobility and faith and piety by recognising if you have abandoned God, you should be looking to them to save you. You cannot be inconsistent in your unbelief.
Jephthah's vow was one that needed to be fulfilled. He was to be obedient to God whatever the circustance. Jephthah clearly had the Spirit of the Lord on him and at work in him.
