The New and Extra-Biblical “We Will Serve the Lord!”
Joshua once said, what many of us have declared for our families, “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15b But Joshua had something completely different in mind than most Christians do when they use the phrase “serve the Lord.”
Have you ever thought what Joshua and the average Israelite actually did in the course of their week to serve the Lord? In Joshua’s day there was no synagogue worship on the Sabbath, so no Sunday school classes to teach, no parking lot attendance, or choir practice or missions committee meeting to attend. There were no para-church ministries to volunteer for, or give money to and yet they served the Lord.
How did they do that and what are we missing?
