Isn’t God so awesome! Always something to experience in His creation 🥰

“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭8‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Judges was the time of some of the worst leadership in Israel. Not because the leaders themselves were bad (although some of them were) but because they had this bad habit of not training their replacements. This all started with Joshua.

Joshua became the leader of Israel because of his connection to Moses. Moses was the original leader of Israel, and he did a good job training Joshua to be his successor. In fact, before Joshua ever became the leader of Israel he was mentioned several times, and in every case he’s mentioned because of how he faithfully served Moses. Despite the fact that Moses spent literally decades training him, Joshua didn’t seem to feel the need to train his own replacement. And that attitude was mirrored in the people.

When Joshua and the generation that followed him died their children became the new people of Israel. But they were unfaithful towards God. The Bible actually say that “there arose another generation after them that did not know the LORD.”

The children of Israel were faithful to God in a way, but they weren’t faithful enough to train the next generation to be faithful. That’s why the children of Israel keep making the same mistakes—they fall into idolatry, then they’re enslaved, then the cry out to God, then He rescues them, then they fall into idolatry again—they never figured out how to teach their children the right way to live.

That shows something pretty important to us. Mission work starts at home. Yes, we need to be people who go out and preach the Gospel to those who are far off, but unless we want those close to us (our families, our friends, our country) to look like Israel in the book of Judges, we must put some of our focus on them. We need to pay attention to how we raise the next generation of Christians or else the next generation won’t really be Christians at all.

Joshua is one of the most violent books in the Bible precisely because it’s the book where the Children of Israel make good on God’s command to destroy all the peoples living in the Promised Land (Deut. 20:16-18). But, despite the violence, this is also the very first book in the Bible to contain a story about a gentile becoming a follower of God.

See, before Joshua took his people into the Promised Land, he sent two spies in to scout things out. These spies went to a city called Jericho, and while they were there they met a pr******te named Rahab. Rahab showed kindness to these two men, and hid them from the people of Jericho, who, naturally, wanted to kill them. Rahab risked her life in order to save these men, and she told them why she was willing to help them. In other words, Rahab said that she was helping the spies because she had heard about what God had done. All the way back in Exodus—which was at least 40 years before this, by the way—God had parted the Red Sea, and people all the way up in Jericho were still talking about it.

Rahab heard about God’s power and it changed her. She rescued the spies, and then she was rescued by them because of her faithfulness. She was even chosen to be in the lineage of Jesus Himself! So, yes, Joshua is a book largely about God’s people violently dispensing justice on a land full of pagans, but it’s also a book about the grace God is willing to have when those same pagans repent and turn to Him!

For the last several years it’s been MAP’s goal to start having summer internships for college students. Being that I’m a college student myself, this summer seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to test out MAP’s plans. So for the last two months I’ve been interning at the Sandstone Drive Church of Christ, and it was an incredible time in my life! I can’t describe to you how grateful I am to the people at Sandstone for allowing me to work with them this summer. I made lots of new friends, did what I think was good work, and learned all kinds of things that I would never have known without actually having the hands-on experience they provided me with.

This summer was amazing. And it’s exactly the kind of opportunity that MAP hopes to offer young people in the future. Please be praying for our mission!

It’s the only way to live!

Paul tells us that we must be baptized in order to have eternal life. The reason is simple: Whenever we’re baptized, we participate in Jesus’ death.

That means two important things for us. First, it means that we must die to ourselves. We no longer act on our selfish impulses, because Jesus lives in us. Second, it means that we will someday rise again from death. In baptism, we die metaphorically as we go into the water and then we are raised from the dead when we come out.

Baptism is meant to be the moment when our lives are transformed. We become new creatures, we confess allegiance to Jesus, we are saved from our sins. At baptism, we die so that we can live again!

Deuteronomy presents the central question of the rest of Scripture: Will the children of Israel be faithful to their covenant with God?

Deuteronomy lines out in clear detail the covenant between God and Israel. They would be His chosen people and would be blessed if they would simply obey His commandments. The children of Israel weren’t very good at holding up their end of the bargain—that’s what most of the Old Testament is about—but on the rare moments when they did, big things happened.

See, all the way back in Genesis God promises Abraham that he would be blessed so that he could be a blessing. God is extending that same promise to the whole nation of Israel in Deuteronomy. “Follow the terms of my covenant so that you can bless all the nations!”

Repentance has two primary functions:

#1 Changing what you do
#2 Changing how you think

We tend to think of repentance as the simple avoidance of sin. “I used to do ______ but now I don’t anymore.” But repentance is more than that.

Repentance is about an identity change. “I’m not the kind of person who does ______ anymore.” Repentance isn’t just about avoiding going down the wrong path, it’s about actively choosing the right one.

God is not in the business of making people who simply avoid sin, He has given us grace so that He can totally transform our lives!
