In this past Sunday’s sermon Kurt talked about Achan’s desire — his desire for the things of Jericho. I have been rereading a book lately that talks about how we form our desires (which are not innate) by imitating the desires of others. In the 10th commandment we are prohibited from coveting the things of our neighbor. We want our neighbor’s stuff though  because our neighbor showed us that these things were desirable. As we come to follow Christ, we need to have not only our desires changed, but also the model for our desires. Christ had no desire of His own per see, but rather the desire to be an imitator of His Father. Achan was modeling his desires after the folks from Jericho. Who is our “desire” model?
