Joshua 22-23

(May 31, 2010)
These chapters also highlighted the importance of being strictly obedient.  The people of Israel were ready to go to war because several of their tribes appeared to be doing something contrary to the will of the Lord.  In addition, Joshua’s preaching of the importance of not disobeying the Lord (or intermingling with those who would) contained powerful promises for those who were strictly righteous and devastating curses for those who were not.
