Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the L ORD your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it.

4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between you and the ark; do not go near it.” 5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the L ORD will do amazing things among you.” --Joshua 3:1-5

Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the L ORD your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it.

5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the L ORD will do amazing things among you.”

In the future, when your children ask you, ’What do these stones mean?’ [7] tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever." Joshua 4:6-7 (NIV)

1.It’s too new, like an unknown language 2.It’s not so melodious as the more established style 3.There are so many new songs that it is impossible to learn them all 4.This new music creates disturbances and causes people to act in an indecent and disorderly manner 5.It places too much emphasis on instrumental music rather than on godly lyrics 6.The lyrics are often worldly, even blasphemous 7.It is not needed, since preceding generations have gone to heaven without it 8.It is a contrivance to get money 9.It monopolizes the Christians’ time and encourages them to stay out late 10.These new musicians are young upstarts, and some of them are lewd and loose persons.

Then the Lord said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. [3] March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. [4] Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. [5] When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the people will go up, every man straight in." --Joshua 6:2-5 (NIV)
