You're gonna have to serve somebody.

Joshua24:14 “Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and
in truth; remove the gods which your fathers served on the other side of
the [Euphrates] River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 If it is
unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this
day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that
were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose
land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

For many Christians, they follow the examples that were set before them by

their parents and the friends that they hung out with. Serving the flesh

and its desires is so much easier than serving God. There are many

different gods that we serve everyday without really thinking about it.

Things, people, hobbies, money, that we make our idols and allow God to be

pushed by the wayside. "You’re gonna have to serve somebody Well, it may be

the devil or it may be the Lord But you’re gonna have to serve somebody" -

Bob Dylan. Life is made out of choices. We must choose who we will serve.

Joshua took a stand that was against popular consensus and may all

Christians do the same. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Who

is with me?
