Just as accurate Bible teaching produces spiritual maturity and the ability to discern good and evil (Heb 5:14), so false or muddled teaching will lead into evil. Learn to discern by discovering the necessity and means of sharpening spiritual faculties. Listen and read as Gene teaches these truths from the Rocky Mountain Bible Conference.

Joshua # 01 -- Jos 1:1-12

Joshua # 01 -- Jos 1:1-12

Deu 31:1-8 “Don’t be afraid God is with you”. Joshua is a book of warfare. The warfare illustration is used by the Apostle Paul to describe our fight against the world, flesh and devil. God chose Joshua to succeed Moses (Exo 17:8-16). Only Joshua and Caleb were the only to enter the land. The theme is “Victorious faith”. Joshua kept the records which was the basis for the book (Jos 24:26). Preparation for victory demands purity (Jos 6:12).  Threefold principle for life:  (1) Grace, (2) through faith, (3) unto good works (Eph 2:8-10). God’s grace is independent of the instruments He chooses (Jos 1:1-6). God’s grace is also communicated through His word. Grace is built on immutable promises.  The gift still has to be claimed (Jos 1:2-3, Jos 1:6, Eph 1:3). God’s grace initiates but we have to respond. Grace impels action, work. Grace is the basis for a life of stability (Jos 1:5).  We are to be content for He will never leave us. “Let your conduct be without covetousness… I will never leave nor forsake you.” (Heb 13:5-6)
