Joshua 23 - Joshua's Farewell Address | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Joshua 23 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Joshua 23 he is dying and going the way of all the earth. Here in these last two chapters are his final words to the Israelites, words of greater significance than normal. The chapter comments on how God has given them rest in the land. Note that it is God who has given them rest, even though it is them who have fought on the ground.Without God fighting for them, they would not have succeeded. Joshua warns them not to marry in with the people who are in the land who have not been removed because God will stop fighting for them. The great danger of mixing worldliness with godliness is that God stops fighting for you. This was the problem of the next generation after Joshua died.This is what Joshua is trying to warn them of in his last words. So many Christians today find that God is not fighting for them and it is too hard to be godly in a world like ours. We are weak as a result.
