Coming in at only 120 pages, with a conversational tone throughout, the book makes for a low barrier-to-entry for those who might otherwise have hesitations. Accessible. Casual. Readable. These characteristics make the book ready to hand out to the young people in your life who want to begin thinking rightly about their future in a culture that has all but forfeited any such reliability.
Read MorePicking up after the death of Moses, Joshua narrates the Israelites’ takeover of Canaan after their forty-year wandering in the wilderness. Through their military campaigns, the Israelites would serve as the instrument of God’s judgment upon the Canaanites for their sins, as well as the demonstration of God’s purposes to give the land to Abraham’s descendants (cf. Deut. 9:4-5).
Read MoreWe don’t merely want our children to behave well. We don’t simply want them to memorize Bible verses, learn the right answers, or become respectable members of the church. We want them to know Christ.
Read MoreWhen Christ died on the cross, He bore the curse required for our disobedience (cf. Deut. 21:23) so that through faith in Him we can receive the blessings merited by His obedience (cf. 2 Cor. 5:21). It’s for that reason that the Law of Moses was never intended to be a means of justification. But that’s not to say that Mosaic Law was inherently bad.

Read MoreWhether you are studying the Bible on your own, walking through it with your spouse, teaching it to your children, or learning it in your local church, I trust that this will serve as a blessing to guide you in fruitful study.
Read MoreIf charitable listening has been lost, then it must also be intentionally recovered. Virtue does not drift into our lives. It’s cultivated. And in a world trained by outrage, suspicion, and instant reaction, listening with charity will require deliberate, Spirit-shaped effort.
Read MoreDespite their repeated sin and failure, the Israelites were never alone during their pilgrimage; God was with them, faithfully leading them to their intended destination as He promised (cf. Exod. 6:8). And so it is that those “numbers” recorded by Moses weren’t just statistics; they were souls.
Read MoreIn a world bent on distorting every good gift, Christians must learn to guard purity, not as a burden but as a blessing. We are not protecting our children from joy; we are protecting them for it. It allows us to see reality as God defines it and to rejoice in the goodness of His design.
