Hi and welcome. Ashfield Baptist Church is a "caring community church sharing God's love". We are very diverse in our nationalities, backgrounds and ages, but united in our desire to grow spiritually and to reach out and help others. Our vision is "to be a body of Christ-like people living out the great commandment and the great commission in the Holy Spirit's power". This blog is mainly for people connected with Ashfield Baptist Church. It has been set up as an "info & chat space" as we start the "THRU IN 2" challenge. This is our program for reading the Bible right through during 2007 & 2008. Many are using the Every Day With Jesus Bible which also has daily devotions from Selwyn Hughes. As we read through the Bible together over these two years, we can use this blog to share insights, stories, reflections, questions etc. The goal is to grow spiritually together. So leave your comments. Together we can help each other grow. Blessings. Ps John.

Joshua 24 is a rousing summary of Israel's history up till then. The words are God's words through Joshua. The prevalence of the personal Pronoun "I" points to God's Sovereignty and his control of history (His story!) Joshua's affirmation is the appropriate response "As for me and my family we will serve the LORD." (24:15)
The people rise to the occasion (at least on this occasion) and likewise declare: "We will worship the LORD." (24:21) And for a generation or so they did (v31). But as Joshua the book ends, Joshua the man dies and one gets the uneasy feeling that there is trouble ahead.
