King David was a truly remarkable servant of the Lord, and yet he was just like us in many ways. On the one hand he truly cared about what God was after; God Himself declared him to be “a man after My own heart” (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22) even while he was still just a shepherd boy. On the other hand, David was often not clear about God’s purpose, and he also experienced many failures, sins, disappointments, and sufferings as he followed and served the Lord.

Through such a one, God was able to establish His kingdom, gain the city He desired, and prepare the way for the building up of the temple, His dwelling place on the earth. What a marvelous story, and what an encouragement to us in our own Christian life and serving today!

In this book brother Titus states:

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Josh. 24:15). I have seen this declaration hanging on the wall in many homes. Many young people make this declaration even before they have a family. Those who have been married awhile have a little more realization and may declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord…somewhat.” The older we become, the more difficult it is to make Joshua’s declaration because we know what is involved. Yet it was not in his younger days that Joshua declared this but at the end of his life. He was not defeated as most find themselves at his age. Instead, backed by years of experience, Joshua was able to declare with assurance, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!” Joshua understood how much was involved in this declaration. He had learned many difficult lessons while serving for forty years in the wilderness under Moses, then leading Israel into the good land.
Everyone likes to hear the stories about Joshua leading the armies of Israel into battle to conquer the good land, but few pay attention to the years of learning that prepared Joshua for this. However, if we wish to fight for the Lord as Joshua did and to declare with Joshua that we will serve the Lord, we need to pass through what Joshua passed through and learn the lessons that he learned.

From the Preface:

This book is based upon messages given by Titus Chu in Montreal, Canada, to college students from around the Great Lakes in August 2003. These messages focus upon our growth and progress in the church life, which, as we are under the shepherding of life and the operation of the Lord’s death and resurrection, will ultimately result in that complete union with Christ for which we long. Praise Him for being such a Savior! How we yearn for the day when we will be able to say that He and we are one forever, and that nothing is left to compete with Him in our hearts.

“… I pursue, if even I may lay hold of that for which I also have been laid hold of by Christ Jesus”—Philippians 3:12b.
