>From the excellent sermon Mouthwash delivered Sunday (www.podbean.com/ew/pb-x99x9-18b0705):

Joshua 10:12-14
[12] At that time Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
[13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.

Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. [14] There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel.

How big is your God? As for the God of the Bible: “He’s got the whole world in his hands.”

We made the disclaimer and took off for some hills through Gulf Park and Belmont West. We returned to the flag and had a COT based on Matthew 16:24 where Jesus says… “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to come after me must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”

I heard Pastor Dave Stone from Louisville preach last weekend. He was amazing as he mixed humor, scripture and story-telling to share his message. Pastor Stone retired at 58 from one of the largest churches in the country as he felt his church of 30,000 people needed new, younger leadership with fresh ideas; Dave is reinvigorated by speaking at conferences, missions like KARM, etc.

“At birth, we look like our parents; at death, we look like our decisions.”

We need to live with a sense of urgency. Don’t let the good things on Earth crowd out the best thing which is Jesus. He said many of us focus on lots of things that take us away from our relationship with our savior.

“At birth, we look like our parents; at death, we look like our decisions.”
