But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Our Theme for the day: Choices
Just before his death, Joshua called the children of
In the book of Joshua chapter 24, the Bible opens for us the experience of a fearless leader. One who was not afraid to stand up, even if he was standing by himself, Joshua did not ask to be a leader, or seek it through dishonest means, like bribery or even assassination. The word of God helps us to see that he was called; he obtained the office of leadership by the most honest means. We are living in a day where we need leaders like Joshua, who are called to the office of leadership verses seeking it through bribery or even assassination. Today most people are following one another, we have very few people who are choosing to stand even if it’s by themselves.

Those who choose Christ as their leader, grow daily more like Him. "Strengthened with all might by His Spirit," they form characters that will win for them an entrance into the holy city. We now have the opportunity of deciding whether we shall be numbered with the servants of Christ or the servants of Satan. Day by day, in every way, in word and act, we show what choice we are making. Shall we not decide as did Joshua, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord?"
