Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss.

There are times when we have to deal with issues in the community of faith.

Now, wouldn't it be great if we could just all work together all the time and just deal with the real enemy out there?

But there are times when issues arise within the people of God, within our churches.

Life in the body can be messy.

But we can't avoid those issues.

We can't just write each other off.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Thursday, November 6, 2014.

Thank you. 2014. Yesterday, Nancy told us about a tricky conflict Joshua had to deal with.

She shared a lot of practical insight about how to be a peacemaker.

If you miss that program, you can hear it at revive our hearts.com.

Today, she picks back up in the series, Lessons from the Life of Joshua, Part 12, leaving a legacy.

Well, I kind of left you hanging in the last session, and everybody's wanting to know what

happened to the conflict. How did they resolve it? But in case you weren't with us for that last session, let me just reset here a little bit.

We have the two and a half eastern tribes that have been fighting with their brothers

against the Canaanites in the promised land for seven years,

and now they are going back to their homes on the eastern side of the Jordan,

where their families and the children have been waiting for them. And before they leave, Joshua gives them a charge. He says,

don't forget the Lord. So they head back to their homes. They get to the Jordan. Before they cross

over, they build an altar. And nobody knows what this is really for or what this is about,

but the nine and a half tribes that are left behind hear about the altar.

And on the basis of hearsay, they decide that the eastern tribes are now apostate, that they have forsaken the Lord, they are following after other gods, that they have, you know, they've disobeyed the Lord.
