The Biblical Illustrator - Joshua 24:15

Joshua 24:15Choose you this day whom ye will serve.The Christian’s choice“Seem evil unto you to serve the Lord!” How can the service of the Lord seem evil to any one who is not either wholly void of understanding or altogether hardened against religious impressions? The service of God is exclusive. It does not admit of interference, or of competition, or of divided homage. It must have the whole man. He requires your whole heart--with all its principles, and dispositions, and sensibilities. And... read more

Joshua 24:19-28Ye cannot serve the Lord: for He is an holy God. The covenant renewedI. The difficulty of serving God. “Ye cannot serve the Lord.” It was a staggering admonition.

Joshua 24:20If ye forsake the Lord . . . He will turn Mercies abused, the precursors of wrathI.The reasonableness of expecting that abused mercies must lead to more aggravated punishment. We see this clearly in the history of Israel. Their career as a nation was marked by perfidy and ingratitude; at almost every step of their progress we find them in rebellion against the Most High--“forsaking the Lord, and serving strange gods.” And how did God deal with them when they thus acted? Is it not... read more

Joshua 24:25Joshua made a covenant. The covenant of Joshua“That day” was a very notable day in the annals of the children of Israel; its transactions might well be recorded in the volume of the book and engraven on the monumental stone. All the favours which God had promised to their fathers while yet they languished in bondage in Egypt had been now fulfilled; the promised land was theirs. God had given them rest in all their borders. In the meantime their captain, who had so often led them to... read more

Joshua 24:26-27Joshua . . . took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the Lord.The devout soul and natureSolemnity of occasion. Joshua, dying, calls upon the nation to “choose whom you will serve.” Here we have--1. A wise effort to impress and perpetuate religious resolutions.2. A fine impersonation of material nature.I. the importance of religious resolutions. They are worthy of perpetual remembrance. The world has monuments of earthquakes, wars,... read more

And I brought you out. ] As brands out of the fire; as many of you here present as were then under twenty years of age: and a great mercy it was to be pulled out of such a superstitious place.
