Loving God is not a suggestion, so why do we treat it as such? Why did Joshua have to tell the Israelites to love God? It was because the people of Israel were inclined to turn back to other gods and to forsake the Lord in the land. God knew this, and so did Joshua. Our motivation for loving God should never be to avoid consequences. Our motivation for loving God should be that He is worthy of our love. Please listen as Pastor Ben Hiwale completes his discussion of Joshua chapter twenty-three.
