“As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15, NKJV). Joshua says this after laying out a real choice to the people, serve the gods of their ancestors or serve the Lord who brought them out of Egypt.
His declaration doesn’t wait for a group consensus. It’s a personal, household-level commitment, made regardless of what everyone else decides.
This is worth noticing in a culture that often waits for social permission before committing to anything countercultural. Joshua’s declaration doesn’t wait.
What would it look like to make this same kind of decisive, public commitment for your own household today, regardless of what others around you choose?
