HOLDING THE LINE AT HOME

May 3, 2026    Craig Hudgins

This powerful message centers on Joshua 24:15 and the critical decision every family must make: whom will we serve? Drawing from Joshua's farewell speech to Israel, we're reminded that our families are under unprecedented attack—not always through obvious wickedness, but through busyness, distraction, and the subtle erosion of spiritual priorities. The pressure we face as families demands that we make a clear choice and hold the line for God. Joshua's declaration 'as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord' wasn't made during peaceful times but at a crossroads when people were being pulled in different directions. This message challenges us to examine what our schedules, our responses to hardship, and our daily habits reveal about who we truly serve. Are we prioritizing God when life gets busy, or are we allowing good things to crowd out the best thing? The call is clear: someone must hold the line in our families, declaring our commitment to God vocally and visibly, especially in front of our children who are watching how we respond when pressure comes.
