What does it actually mean to live a holy life? Most of us instinctively reduce holiness to a checklist -- things we do and things we avoid. But Joshua chapter 23 challenges us to think far deeper than that. As Joshua delivers his farewell address to Israel, he is not simply handing down a list of rules. He is making a passionate case for something far more intimate: staying close to God, and that reframes everything about how we approach our spiritual lives.
