Symbols remind us of God and they help to call us away from ourselves into worship. A symbol is a good means ...read more

    It is good to memorialize the great acts of the Lord. Each new generation must learn what God has done for His people so that they will obey His Word and trust Him for the future.

    What Happened Joshua 4:1-24 It is ideally a reality that we have lost sight of the things that attributed great successes to our 21st century people. Back when I was a child we had a reverence for God, because we watched him work in the midst ...read more

    In Joshua, the children of Israel set up 12 stones at Gilgal to remind them of what God had done. How do we remember the blessings of God?

    It is a time of transition. Of uncertainty. Moses is dead. Joshua has stepped into the leadership void; just as a new generation of Israelites are ready to cross over the Jordan to take possession of the land promised to Abraham. God understands the feelings of his people. The anticipation, the ...read more
