    Israel, under Joshua's leadership, had reclaimed southern Canaan from the various tribes who fought against them, Now Israel was facing a much larger enemy in much larger territory. The LORD, though, gave victory!

    Introduction: The last several verses of Joshua 10 describe briefly how Israel, with God’s help, swept through southern Canaan. Once that was done, Joshua and all Israel returned to Gilgal (see Joshua 10:29-43). There was still a great deal for Israel to claim, however, and this chapter gives some ...read more

     | 1,117 views

    Often the traditions of men have overtaken the commandments of God and thereby, many have missed the true intentions of God’s commandments. May we heed the voice of the Holy Spirit and truly honor and please God in all that we do.

    We read in Matthew 15:3, He answered them, "Why do you break the commandment of God because of your traditions? (GW) As we continue to study the questions that Jesus asked, we realize that all of them were deep and thought provoking. In the above mentioned question there are two important ...read more
