Moore uses Israel's devastating failure at Kadesh Barnea as a mirror — inviting us to ask whether we, like the generation that never entered the land, are living just outside the blessing God intended for us.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.What happened at Kadesh Barnea, and why does Moore use it as such a central image for the life of an unbelieving believer? What were the twelve spies sent to do, and what did ten of them do instead?
2.Caleb and Joshua saw the same giants, the same walled cities, and the same formidable people as the other ten spies — but they came back with a different report. What made the difference? What were they looking at that the others weren't?
3.Hebrews 3 says the Israelites 'were not able to enter because of unbelief.' Moore points out that these were people who had been saved out of Egypt, baptized in the Red Sea, and fed by God's own hand — and they still couldn't believe Him for the next step. How does that challenge your assumption that more spiritual experience automatically produces more faith?
