Joshua 7: Two Terrible Letters: "A" and "I"

The Israelites lost the battle of Ai (Pronounced A-i) because of one man—Achan. He chose to disobey and they all suffered. Only a few months before this (while Achan was very much alive) Moses had said, “Be sure your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). His sin found him out—and many others suffered for it, too. God’s name also suffered—for the enemy who “beats” us always decides that our God must be weak, too. But there is much more to this, don’t stop with chapter 7.
