Spiritual Or Carnal

the Old Testament was writting for our learning that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope (Rom. 15:4). Certainly Joshua was a leader who had hope in the Lord and he trusted in the great commander who went before him and the conquest was successfull to the point of were the people could dwell in that land of milk and honey, and they had to continue to fight, to resist the temptations that were before them and the nations that were driven out.

So in Joshua 24:14-15 we read, “14 “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” 

As we’ve read afore, Joshua made it clear, there is a choice to make, and we can express that simple choice, certainly we must say it is a black and white choice, whether of not we will serve the true and living God or whether the god of this world.

In this lesson we are going to express the choice in a little different manor. We’re going to ask each of us to consider this, for we have a choice that each of us have to make. Will we be spritual or will we be carnal?
