In this series, we’re discussing the phases Joshua navigated to address sin in his camp. The first phase was a proactive warning to employees.
Even after the warning, someone will sin and there will be consequences, which becomes phase two.
Years ago, I served on a ministry board. This ministry was highly unproductive, and the board could sense something was not right.
After significant probing the leader of the ministry confessed that he had a pornography addiction. He resigned and the ministry began bearing fruit.
In Joshua 7:4, we read about the consequences of Achan’s sin, “So about three thousand went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai, who killed about thirty-six of them.”
If something seems wrong, don’t overlook the possibility of sin in your camp.
