The Spies Report – Trust or Consequence : Looking at Deuteronomy 1:21-40, Alan Clark explains the value for us today in this lesson from the wilderness, that of taking responsibility for the lives we live as Christians and the consequences of our disobedience and lack of trust towards God. If we today do not trust and obey Him, then we will face consequences, even if we are saved, and there is no obligation for God to reverse those consequences, even if we repent.
