Why does Joshua tell them to put away their gods? John Calvin said that the human heart is an idol factory because we are always tempted to make them. What are the idols for us today? Our idols may be less concrete, but we must still make a choice whom we will serve today.

If you're looking for an encounter with God, learn from Joshua. He prepares for battle by following the standard ordinances that God had determined. Sometimes we think we need to go on a mystical retreat to have an encounter with God, but we just need to go to church, read the Bible, pray, take communion, and pray that God encounters us.
