Why is this important? Just as Joshua led his people to affirm their following God’s Word, so I believe church’s should regularly affirm their allegiance to their Church Covenant. I believe a church should periodically have a Covenant Service. I believe it should be read at every communion service. The Covenant should be the binding and empowering force of every church.

Once you give your heart to God, there is no turning back. The battle for God’s inheritance will ever be before you.

It has a catchy tune, lifts my spirits, but [...]
