Joshua
- Victorious Christian Living
Theme: Claiming our Victories and our Inheritance in Christ Theme verse: Joshua 1:8
Life is a struggle. As much as we would like for things to always be easy and comfortable, life is just not like that. It's full of battles. Rarely do things come easily. At least that's the way it's been for me. Nothing has been handed to me. I've had to scrap and work hard for the life that my wife and I have. There has been lots of pain, and I've got some scars to show for it. There are lots of reasons why I could just give up.
I came across this series that my Dad wrote at a time when I have been experiencing some fundamental doubts and challenges in my own life. As I went through it I found a real well of wisdom and depth. I found my heart getting challenged. Now I'm posting it on this site for the benefit of anyone who might find it, and be thirsty enough for a Word from the Well that they will draw on it themselves. If that's you, jump in. I think you'll find that at the bottom of the well are Rivers of Living Water.
