Caleb, The Wholehearted Dreamer

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 6, 2021

Wholly following the Lord can be boiled down to three words. Trust and obey. Others in the Bible did that, but only Joshua and Caleb are immortalized for it. They are the example to follow. Any of us can wholly follow the Lord. All of us should.

Introduction: If you describe someone as a dreamer, you might mean that they spend a lot of time thinking about and planning for things that they would like to happen, but which are improbable or impractical in their own strength. Caleb was dreamer who was connected to a dream making God. God ...read more

Fifth Word of a Seven-Last-Words service, summing up the first four as Jesus’ thirst for others, for salvation, for God, and finally for His own needs. Gethsemane Baptist Church, Washington, DC

True spirituality is to know that we have needs. It is only those who pose as ultra-spiritual who deny their needs. True spirituality is to need help, and to ask for it.
