If you have an idol in your life, then you have just dismissed God from involvement with you.

Dr. Tony Evans says God won't occupy a heart crowded with other loyalties.

And what many people do is they call on God while they hugging their idol.

And then they wonder why God's not moving, God's not working, because you have not put away the

competition. This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the

archives of Dr. Tony Evans. When our schedule revolves around success, status, or screens, that may be a sign we're serving something other than God.

Today, Dr. Evans takes us to the final chapter of Joshua,

where the people are called to remember God's faithfulness

and respond with wholehearted devotion.

Let's join him in Joshua 24 for a powerful look

at what it means to choose whom you will serve.

When I think about the book of Joshua and the 23 chapters we have surveyed thus far,

the one thing that jumps out and that I emphasize as we went through it is not one word

that he has spoken has failed. That God has kept his promises. We have watched the

unfolding of the promised land that God had promised Abraham all the way back in chapter 12 of

Genesis. Six hundred years later, God fulfilled every word. there were reasons for those delays, but God keeps

his word. Yet we see regularly, often in scripture, where God changed. He went in another

direction. So how can a changeless God changed? And I gave an illustration in scripture of Moses.

God told Israel, when they refused to believe him and go into the

promised land, he was going to destroy them and start all over with Moses. And then it says,

but Moses prayed. And Moses told God, but if you do that, you will mess up your name among the

unsaved and your glory will be shattered.
