Incompletion Of Conquest Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

Here, the Israelites became distracted from their purpose by a desire for worldly gain. They sought a more luxurious existence, with the ease of someone else doing all the work, and they ran from battle and confrontation.
