Joshua made a bold statement when he said "As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord". I know that today many Men would like to make that statement. But is seems that most Men say something like this "As for me and my house I will ask my wife and see what she wants to do". Or how about this "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord if it doesn't conflict with the Children's activity schedule". As men in America we have lost the power to led. Men repent fall to your knees and ask God to help you take back control of your families. You first must place serving God as the Number One Priority in Your life, then God will help You!!!
14 Then Joshua said to the people, “Now you have heard the Lord’s words. So you must respect the Lord and sincerely serve him. Throw away the false gods that your ancestors worshiped. That was something that happened a long time ago on the other side of the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Now you must serve only the Lord.
15 “But maybe you don’t want to serve the Lord. You must choose for yourselves today. Today you must decide who you will serve. Will you serve the gods that your ancestors worshiped when they lived on the other side of the Euphrates River? Or will you serve the gods of the Amorites who lived in this land? You must choose for yourselves. But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”
