Joshua 3:15 So much in life involves timing. Athletes know this all too well. The difference between a field goal point and a missed opportunity is timing. A split second one way or the other means a miss. Horse racing is often decided by a fraction of a second. Swimmers touch the wall toContinue reading “Bad Timing”

Dead
Joshua 1:2 We have so many ways of saying that someone is dead without saying that they are dead. We speak about someone “passing” as though they were a carton of milk past its expiration date. We say they have “gone” as though they were down at the corner store picking up a coupleContinue reading “Dead”
11Apr 2011 Joshua 24:14-15
14“Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness…. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” We all have a choice to make. We have the power to make the choice. We must chose who we will serve. And just like with computer code, you are either on orContinue reading “11Apr 2011 Joshua 24:14-15”
10Apr 2011 Joshua 23:14
14“Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed. As I read this my heart stays “Amen,” but IContinue reading “10Apr 2011 Joshua 23:14”
9Apr 2011 Joshua 20:3
3so that anyone who kills a person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there and find protection from the avenger of blood. The Law made provision for so many good things. We often tend to think about the Old Testament Law in such negative and restrictive ways. In this passage the Lord instructed Joshua to setContinue reading “9Apr 2011 Joshua 20:3”
8Apr 2011 Joshua 18:1
1The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The country was brought under their control, We need a particular place that we recognize as the place where we meet with the Lord. The Israelites had “the Tent of Meeting” that they set up when they neededContinue reading “8Apr 2011 Joshua 18:1”
7Apr 2011 Joshua 16:10
10They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor. We sometimes make a critical mistake by not completely cleaning up our lives when we become Christians. We think a partially cleaned life is better than nothing. WeContinue reading “7Apr 2011 Joshua 16:10”
6Apr 2011 Joshua 14:15
15(Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites.) Then the land had rest from war. Those of us connected to the military know the struggles of war and the great toll it takes on our spirits. A good friend of my came up to me yesterdayContinue reading “6Apr 2011 Joshua 14:15”
5Apr 2011 Joshua 11:23
23So Joshua took the entire land, just as the LORD had directed Moses, and he gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal divisions. Then the land had rest from war. This verse concludes in my opinion one of the most difficult passages of Scripture. The previous chapters tell the account ofContinue reading “5Apr 2011 Joshua 11:23”
4Apr 2011 Joshua 9:14
14The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the LORD. There is a big difference between Old Testament believers and New Testament believers. We have the Holy Spirit dwelling with us continually. We don’t need to turn aside and go to the priests and ask them to ask the Lord forContinue reading “4Apr 2011 Joshua 9:14”
