The Sword and the Blog
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. - 2 Timothy 3:14-17
Confessions of a Church: Delayed Obedience
Delayed obedience is disobedience.
Obedience which does not conform to the standard presented by the One in authority to whom obedience is due, is disobedience.
Grumbling in the midst of “obedience”, is disobedience.
Israel learned this lesson the hard way. Here and in the previous few verses we are reminded that the LORD had commanded Israel to advance into the land of the Amorites, only to have Israel respond with grumbling and unbelief. God’s response was one of righteous anger, referring to the men as an “evil generation”.
