These two tribes, the men of Reuben and Gad, were of the twelve that marched behind Moses toward the Promised Land. As children, these men left Egypt through bloody doorposts and a parted sea. As they came of age, they fought against Sihon and Og in the wilderness. Their generation, unlike their fathers, proved faithful in God’s campaign to go fort...
The men of Reuben and Gad do indeed repent of their sinful stopping. They would build and settle, but first they would fight. And the Lord holds them to this, requiring each soldier to take up his weapon and wade across the Jordan “before the Lord” until the land was subdued before Yahweh’s watching eyes (Numbers 32:20–24). If they failed in doing ...
God may yet ask many of us, modern men of Gad and Reuben, the single question to cut to the heart of our manhood: “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?” Too many (myself included) have found our homes in the West. We enjoy religious liberty and pray, “Your kingdom come,” from time to time. We have our wife, two kids, and a pleasant exi...

May 11, 2010 · If we confess our sins, John says, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We aren’t meant to feel borderline miserable all the time. We are meant to live in the joy of our salvation. So when we sin–and we’ll all sin (1 Kings 8:46; 1 John 1:8)–we confess it, get cleansed ...
Mar 28, 2005 · Guilt, God, and Self-Esteem. The Hebrew word for sin means “to miss the mark.”. Sin is missing the mark of God’s holiness. It is falling short of his righteousness. Some of us fall shorter than others, but all of us fall far short of God’s perfection. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
