Today we conclude our study of “The Twelve” with a final word to all would-be followers of Jesus. I hope you will listen to this important application for every believer. If you missed any of the study you can find it in the ETJ archives. (Click here for more.)

On Monday we will begin a brand new podcast series: “A Message We All Need.” It is arguably the redemptive message of the entire Bible wrapped up in one statement, and it is found in the little book of Jonah. At the bottom of the sea, in the belly of a great fish, Jonah made one of the deepest statements ever recorded: “Salvation is of the LORD” (Jonah 2:9).

There is not a person on earth that does not need to hear this truth! And those of us who have heard it all of our lives need a fuller understanding of its implications. The great issue in our world is a sin issue and only a Savior can fix that…and there is only one Savior.

The Old Testament book of Jonah is not the story of a great fish—it is the story of a great God. In a world on the verge of judgment and desperate for a spiritual awakening, it holds a message we all need: “Salvation is of the LORD.”

Plan to listen on Monday as we begin walking through this powerful portion of Scripture. But don’t just listen! Tell someone – it is a message we all need.

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder.

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
