This is the story of the people of Israel at Kaddish Barnea. As we read this passage, I want half of you to look for information about the people of faith in this chapter, while the other half looks at those with a lack of faith. Tell me everything you can find about each group. Look at the verse that talks about grasshoppers. As a result of the 10's lack of faith, all Israel lacked faith.
Motivation is a big part of teaching.
If you can lead people to get in touch with their own reasons to do things, you will have served them well. Escape from egypt and the giving of the 10 Commandments. Do everything without complaining or arguing. Sadly, we are not there yet. And like your pastor, I need to feed my kids.
