Old Soldiers Never Die! That was the message title yesterday from Joshua 23 and 24. We looked at the great address Joshua gave to his leaders and the people. It was a great address to leaders and God's people today as well. Joshua had noticed the moral drift of the people. He had seen the compromise of God's people and how they had been impacted by the culture around them instead of impacting the culture. Eddie challenged us to be people who drive the climate of the culture instead of reflecting it. We looked at the keys to being blessed by God, but reminded that just as in Joshua's day, we can choose for ourselves whom we will serve. Eddie gave a great quote by Spurgeon on how God will not allow His people to sin successfully and if we are doing so and not miserable in our sin, we should check out if we are really saved. God is not happy with lip service, we are saved to serve. We were left with the question to ask ourselves, what kind of influence are we having?
It was a great message, a great day to be in His house. We missed all of you traveling for the long weekend! Look forward to next Sunday, it's sure to be a good one!!
Happy Memorial Day everyone! Thankful for those who serve and grateful for many who have served. Praying our nation will turn from our wicked ways and get back to God for some much needed healing!
