Joshua 6:17-18+ “The city shall be under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the LORD; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent. 18 “But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things under the ban, so that you do not covet them and take some of the things under the ban, and make the camp of Israel accursed and bring trouble on it. THE "RIPPLE EFFECT" OF ONE MAN'S SIN Don Anderson divides the chapter with descriptive "D" alliterations... DISOBEDIENCE - Joshua 7:1 DEFEAT - Joshua 7: 2-5 DISMAY - Joshua 7:6-9 - DIRECTIONS - Joshua 7 : 10-15 DISCOVERY - Joshua 7:16-21 DEATH - Joshua 7:22-26 Adrian Rogers' Outline- The Key to Unbroken Victory I. Great Victories Are Often Followed by Great Defeats A. Israel’s Sin: Carelessness 1. Pride 2. Presumption 3. Prayerlessness B. Achan’s Sin: Covetousness 1. He Saw 2. He Coveted 3. He Took 4. He Covered It Up II. Private Sin Is Never Really Private A. Sin Brings Dishonor to God B. Sin Brings Defeat to Your Brother C. Sin Brings Disgrace to Your Family D. Sin Brings Destruction to Your Loved Ones III. Every Sin That You Cover, God Will Uncover IV. Every Sin That You Uncover, God Will Cover Paul Apple entitles this chapter " SIN SNATCHES DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY" Alan Carr's sermon title is "God's Prescription For An Achan Heart" 2–3 Israel Was A Confident People 4–5a Israel Was A Conquered People 5b Israel Was A Confounded People 6–15 A PAINFUL DISCOVERY 10–15 God Rehearses The Problem 16–18 The Sinner Discovered 19–21 The Sin Discussed 22–26 The Sinner Destroyed But - This term of contrast is striking (and ominous) in context for here we see a complete "reversal of direction" going from Israel's incredible victory to Israel's ignominious defeat, from a supernatural success to a natural (fleshly) disaster!

We are never in greater danger than when we have a high opinion of ourselves -- James Smith God’s people are never more vulnerable, never in greater danger, than right after they have won a great victory. -- Donald Campbell It is interesting to read a similar statement in In The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis telling of Satan warning one of his junior demons, “We are never in greater danger than when they look around and all traces of God have forsaken them, yet they still choose to obey Him!” Well, in this chapter, the devil wins, because Israel disobeys! And for completeness let me give you one more "greater danger" quote from James M
