We couldn't even sing hymns in Bible college!

Summary

This sermon addresses the spiritual conquest of the promised land, highlighting God's miraculous intervention in stopping the Jordan River. It critiques modern theological trends that seek to diminish or sanitize biblical accounts of conflict and conquest, comparing it to the suppression of classic hymns like "Onward Christian Soldiers." The takeaway is a call to reject passive or ambivalent approaches to faith and to embrace the full, often challenging, truths of scripture, particularly the unique authority of Jesus as redeemer and king.
