		<description><![CDATA[I wonder what it feels like to know you are an indestructible man. That’s what Caleb son of Jephunneh was. Not many of us have a guarantee that we will live tomorrow, but Caleb did. The fact is it was impossible for him to die before he received the promise made to him 45 years [...]]]></description>

As the girls and I were going through the lesson, I had the opportunity to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Enough looking back. Time to move on again. That rearward glance was just to energize you for the next conquest. The people of God are not a backward looking people (Philippians 3:13; Isaiah 65:17), except to draw strength for the present by remembering God’s power and faithfulness. Joshua in chapter 13 lists the real estate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is beneficial to stop and take a regular tally of the deeds of God in your life, as we do in this chapter. Living through the drama of the conquest of Ai was exhausting&#8212;hopeful at the outset, demoralizing in the middle, exhilarating in the end. The rear-view mirror perspective reveals God’s justice and mercy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is “chariots” that strike me in my “just one thing” from this chapter of Joshua. The word is not dropped idly here by the Lord. There is a vendetta behind this. God makes a point of noting that when Joshua swept the land clean of God’s enemies, “he hamstrung their horses and burned their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we reach chapter 10, I was thinking that the story of Israel’s conquests could have ended abruptly and ignominiously at chapter 7. That was the first battle of Ai, the one they entered jubilant after Jericho and exited dejected after sin was discovered in the camp.
Some children of God might have lost heart and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have wondered sometime: Which trumps which? Does the command to annihilate the Gibeonites trump the oath Israel took to protect them? Or does the oath trump the command?
Well, of course, both mandates originate from the Lord&#8212;the order to destroy the Canaanites, as well as the order to keep one’s oaths&#8212;so the matter is [...]]]></description>

On our way home from choir practice my daughter Anna was upset. The boy behind her tells gross jokes. He breathes down her neck. He sings off key and too loud. He’s “yucky.”
I knew boys like that growing up. Jimmy had acne and odd patches of facial hair on his face and sat right [...]]]></description>

The residue of the Achan incident is the same as that of the Ananias and Sapphira incident: “Great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things” (Acts 5:11). Any one of you who has known acute fear [...]]]></description>

Then whammo, out of the blue, a major downer, for no apparent reason: ignomy at Ai. Joshua is almost sulking, almost angry at God.
