But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.

Any society that derives its power and authority from the will of man alone lives apart from God and will crumble in the end.

Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!

The best relationships are between two people who care more about each other's good than their own momentary pleasure.

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.

As for me and my family, we'll worship God.

I do not pretend to write much of a letter. You know under what circumstances I am writing.
