Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss.

You can't have one foot in the world and one foot in the kingdom of God.

You can't be a follower of Christ and be a follower of the lust of your flesh.

You've got to make a choice.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Monday, November 10th, 2014.

Thank you. Monday, November 10th, 2014. A lot of people have sung the words to a popular gospel song,

I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back. I wonder how many realized what a radical commitment they were singing

about. We'll look at the commitment to follow with no turning back in a series called

Lessons from the Life of Joshua Part 12, Leaving a Legacy. Here's Nancy. Well, my friends know that

Joshua and I have been friends for some time now, and somebody

asked me recently, how's Joshua?

And I said, he's getting old.

And he is, as we're in chapters 23 and 24 over these last few sessions, hearing Joshua's

farewell.

We come in today to chapter 24 where Joshua is having a final meeting with the leaders of God's people. And this time the meeting is at Shechem. We saw I had one meeting in a place we don't know where the meeting was in chapter 23 with the leaders of God's people. And here's another one in chapter 24, which is at Shechem. Shekham is an important place in the history of Israel.

It's the place where Abraham met with God in Genesis chapter 12, and God gave him some

wonderful promises, which were now being fulfilled for the children of Israel 500 years later.

Shechem is the place where Jacob met with God in Genesis chapter 35. So God had manifested

himself to his people in some significant ways at this location. Shekham is also a place where the

children of Israel built an altar at the beginning of the conquest. And you remember that Shekham was a

city that was located between two mountains, Mount Gerasim and Mount Ebal, the Mount of blessing and the Mount of cursing.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can go back and retrieve that lesson from the archives.
