Power of Choice Part 2

March 15, 2022

Anne Frank was heard to say, “Our lives are fashioned by our choices.   First we make our choices.  Then our choices make us.”  And how true that is.  And so today on Sound Doctrine we uncover the power of choice.  Really the entire book of Joshua has been about choices, and so it's no surprise that the topic resurfaces here at the end of the book.  

References: Joshua 24:15-33

We have choices we make every day… from what we’re going to eat to what we’re going to wear.  And then there are the more important ones like where we’ll work and who we’ll marry.  But today on Sound Doctrine we’ll discuss the biggest choice of all, and it has to do with the master passion of your life.  We bring you our final message in Joshua this week.

When a trial strikes, or we’re in the midst of tribulation, it’s easy to think something is wrong or that God must be mad at us!  But today we learn that in this world we’re going to suffer and experience tribulation!  And here’s something else… God can actually use you as a witness as you do suffer.

Consider for a moment these famous last words:   Martin Luther said, “Our God is the God from whom cometh salvation;  God is the Lord by whom we escape death.”  John Knox was heard to say, “Live in Christ, live in Christ, and the flesh need not fear death.”  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll hear Joshua’s final words as he’s preparing to die.  He calls for a final meeting with the nation, and you’re about to hear his stirring challenge.

Everyone has a standard they live by whether it’s intentional or not. You either live by God’s standards or by someone else's.  In Joshua chapter twenty-four God’s people are exhorted to make a decision about how they’re going to live and who they’re going to serve.  It’s a decision we’re faced with as well.

If you’ve ever been next to someone who was on their deathbed, you probably clung to every word!  Those very last words can be so meaningful.  Here in Joshua chapter 23 we have some of Joshua’s final words and they are incredible.

When going through a trial do you think as so many do, “Why in the world is this happening to me!”  It’s a common reaction.  We may think it’s strange, or that we’ve done something wrong for this to happen.  First Peter chapter four reminds us that God allows Christians to suffer…. Even when they’re living a godly life.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn how to occupy until Jesus comes, and arrive at a balanced life, even in difficult times.

It’s been said, “Gossip is the most deadly microbe.  It has neither legs nor wings.  It is composed entirely of tales, and most of them have stings.”  If you’ve ever been the victim of rumor and gossip, you know that sting all too well.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see why we’re to avoid gossip and carnality.  And embrace God’s great alternative, which is becoming a peacemaker.

"Hey have you heard the news!"  If you’re like most, your ears perk up when you hear that line.  It’s usually followed up with some sort of rumor or gossip.  But today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see why we need to shut it down, and avoid getting caught up in it.  Pastor Jeff Johnson opens Joshua chapter 22 and reveals how gossip can ruin lives and even a ministry or church.
