Essex Congregational Remembrancer Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil to you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve… I. TRUE RELIGION CONSISTS IN THE SERVICE OF GOD. II. THEY WHO TRULY SERVE GOD MAKE HIS SERVICE A MATTER OF CHOICE. III. IF THE SERVICE OF GOD IS THE OBJECT OF OUR CHOICE, IT IS OUR DUTY TO ENGAGE OURSELVES TO IT BY OPEN PROFESSION AND SOLEMN COVENANT. IV. IF WE HAVE DEVOTED OURSELVES TO THE SERVICE OF GOD IT IS OUR DUTY TO USE EVERY MEANS TO ENGAGE OTHERS IN IT. (Essex Congregational Remembrancer.) Parallel Verses KJV: And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. |
