When the twelve spies returned from searching the promised land, they said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. (Numbers 13:31).

That was the report they brought back—at least ten of them that is. The other two, Joshua and Caleb, had this to say, "Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them" (Numbers 14:9).

They all saw the same things in the land of Canaan, but only Joshua and Caleb chose to agree with God. The Lord had previously told them that He would give them victory and that they would be able to drive out the inhabitants of the land.

The ten spies (along with all Israel) died without ever possessing what God had promised. Only two men from that generation entered into Canaan and possessed the land. I think you can guess who they were, Joshua and Caleb. The only two who agreed with the declarations of God.

Check out what you have been saying. Do your words agree with God or not?

     For the months of January, February and March, we will not be having our Sunday Night Bible Studies. In lieu of this service we are encouraging our Men and Women to join the Bible Studies that will be going on throughout the week.
     The ladies will be meeting on Sunday nights at 6 PM at various homes. The first meeting for this study is January 16th at Pamela Bish's house. They will be going over session 1 of the study guide.
     Likewise, the men will be having their study on Saturdays at 8 AM. The men will be going through Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders. Their first meeting will be on Saturday, January 15th, at the Dr.'s In in Hickory, PA at 8 AM. They will be going over chapters 1 & 2.
     If you missed signing up for this or are interested in joining, please see Pamela Bish for the ladies, and Pastor Robinson for the men. We pray and hope to see you involved in these studies.
