Will You Be Remembered? by Steve Higginbotham July 6, 2009 |

How well do you remember
Shammua, Shaphat, Igal, Palti, and Gaddiel? Well then, how about Gaddi,
Ammiel, Sethur, Nahbi, or Geuel? Come on, you're telling me you don't know
these men? Oh, but you do. You know them well, and have probably heard
sermons about them, read about them, and maybe even taught Bible class about
them. Still don't know who I'm talking about? These are the names of the ten faithless spies that Moses sent into the "Promised Land." These are the men who came back with a bad report, saying that they could not take the land. However, as you know, Moses didn't send 10 spies into the land, he sent 12. Interestingly enough, the two spies who came back with a good report, you probably remember by name...Joshua and Caleb. Interesting isn't it? The difference between being a hero that everyone knows by name, and a nameless blemish on the history of God's people is faith or the lack thereof. Question: Judging from your present lifestyle, will you be remembered by name as a man or woman of faith, or will you fade away into obscurity? Give it some thought. |
