Think About It

Love is one of five common threads that help us understand the traits one finds in 1 Corinthians 13 -- being kind, being patient, not being proud, not being rude, not being easily angered. -Dr. Ron Gannett

Joshua #5 "Preparations of Faith" #91

Classic Bible Study

Dr Alden Gannett

Week of March 7-13, 2010

This week Dr. Alden Gannett’s voice offers a challenge with a study from Joshua, Chapter 5, which he titled “PREPARATIONS OF FAITH”. At times, when he would refer to this time of Jewish history, he would also use the term ‘spiritual readiness for spiritual conquest’.

Alden believed implicitly that the biblical principles in Scripture are just as real and workable in our lives today as when they were given to mankind.

God’s ways are not our ways – and that’s so good for us to remember. In this historical event, man’s way would be to be fully prepared militarily complete with troops, strategy and supplies. God didn’t want that kind of preparation in this instance – He wanted Joshua and the Israelites to be prepared spiritually.

Dr. Alden Gannett is now with the Lord after “finishing his course and finishing it well.” As “stewards of words,” we’ve preserved and archived his teachings of the unchangeable Gospel to share and instruct the next generations. This is why his radio broadcast continues after it’s beginning in 1960 – 48 year’s ago -- and this Words of Faith website allows his teaching to be accessible around the world in a way that 'mission-minded' Dr. Alden Gannett could never imagine.
