So What If I Sinned -- I'm Still Going to Heaven (13 of 28)

Joshua 7
INTRO:
(A) Many Christians .... unfortunately, do not take sin seriously ....Joshua 6 -- dealing with strongholds -- areas closed to God!
(B) Reasoning ... "We're saved -- we know we're going to heaven. We know God forgives our sin ... so we tend not to take sin as seriously as we should."
(C) Truth of the matter -- sin produces devastating results when tolerated in the life of a Christian.
1- God has fixed His children so that we cannot sin and prosper!.... We cannot sin and enjoy it!

(C) Vs. 2-3 .... disobedience spreading.
1- Joshua holds no prayer meeting to seek God's counsel.
1- Vs. 2 "Joshua sent men" .... God sen ...
