Sin In The Camp Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 21, 2016

God's punishment upon Achan (and his family and possessions) seems severe...and it was, because sin is a serious matter. Sin is rebellion. Sin is covenant-breaking. Sin is choosing to go our way and reject God's way. And sin has consequences.

Manoah

Contributed by John Lowe on May 6, 2015

Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 5, 2013

Keep talking! Keep explaining the ways of God and encourage your family to read the Word and gather together in prayer everyday. I repeat everyday, not when you feel like and when you have the time. Such ‘imperatives’ got to be said everyday!
