Men Ministry
Joshua 24:15
And if it is disagreeable in your
sight to serve the Lord, choose
for yourselves today whom you
will serve: whether the gods
which your fathers served
which were beyond the river,
or the gods of the Amorites in
whose land you are living; but
as for me and house, we will
serve the Lord.
