    A poem once declared "I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are, because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star." The story of Joseph tells of God's desire to make "could-be" of all His followers.

     | 6,691 views

    In Joshua 24 Joshua gives an amazing speech about choices, and it boils down to one massive choice: choosing God or choosing idolatry.

    Life is made up of choices. In just one day, you make hundreds of choices—big ones and small ones. If we never had to make choices, we would be robots, programmed to do a specific task. But that’s not how God designed us. God designed us with the ability to choose. In Joshua 24, the nation of ...read more

    The Psalmist poses a thought-provoking question in Psalms 25:12. “What man is he that feareth the Lord?” Ponder his question for a moment…Then allow that question to provoke a self-examination. This psalm and the three preceding it reveals all the postures of worship: David presented in all the ...read more
