https://amzn.to/4mXLEyzJoshua asked Achan to give glory to God by confessing his sin. But Achan's confession reveals no repentance—only exposure. His words echo the fall of Adam and Eve: he saw, he coveted, he took. Covetousness is the sin of unbelief, suspecting God of withholding good from us. Today, we explore the stark contrast between Rahab's faith and Achan's greed. One saved her family; the other doomed his. One made a covenant; the other broke it. How can we avoid the sin of covetousness?
