“I’ve had enough of those on Earth, so this is what I’ll do.
I’ll give my orders to the sun – Cut off [...]
In his farewell address, Joshua stands before the representatives of all the tribes of Israel and tells them to make a decision. He says that they can either turn from God and serve idols, or they can turn to God and serve Him. Joshua told them what his decision was: “As for me and my [...]
