Does Your Shopping Cart Have a Squeaky Wheel?

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Have you ever gone grocery shopping just before a holiday? The aisles are packed with people pushing carts, shelves need restocked, all the checkout lanes have long lines…not a fun experience.

Just like in-person shopping, making online shopping easy and painless is key to getting customers to purchase from your store.

Let’s examine the internet shopping process from start to finish exposing some places in the process that your store may have a squeaky cart.

Make the Product Easy to Find
Offer a search capability if your store has a large number of products. Most buyers don’t have the patience to wade through 20 pages of products to find what they want.

Share Availability Early On
Now that the customer has found the product, let them know that it is in stock and ready to ship. Right on the product page or when they place it in their shopping cart let the customer know their purchase can be on its way soon. Don’t wait until after they’ve placed the order to tell them it will be another 6-8 weeks.

Streamline the Order Form
Limit your order form to the basics. Shipping information, credit card or payment information, and the quantity and order number are all it takes. This isn’t the place to conduct market research or ask for loads of information. Keep the order form short and simple. For future purchases, keep the customer’s data on file so they can fly through the ordering even faster next time.

Handling Your Shipping (and Handling)
One big reason many people don’t shop on the internet is that they have to pay for shipping. Offer a variety of shipping options to the customer so that she can decide how quickly she needs the item and what she is willing to pay to have the product delivered. Resist the temptation to add large handling fees to the shipping costs. What looked like a great online deal at $19.95 isn’t nearly as attractive when shipping + handling brings the total cost to $29.95.

Keeping your online order process simple and straightforward will enhance your customer’s satisfaction and the likelihood that they will visit your store again.

Green-Eyed Monster

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Recently I received a book by snail mail – a gift from an author I met on-line. I took the book downstairs and propped it up on the bookrack on my new treadmill. I opened it up being careful not to break the spine. I love the way a new book feels. I love the way I feel – excited about the treasure hidden between the covers.

And what a treasure it was. The writer included an entire book’s worth of information in the first chapter. My thirty-minute workout passed by before I knew it.

While I savored the spiritual morsels in the book, I had to quash an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach – something like literary nausea. Why would I ever try to write another word? Who was I to think I could communicate deep spiritual insights? I’m shallow.

As a first step to rid myself of this illness, I sent an email to the author praising her book. Then I prayed. And prayed some more. If I am to continue to write, I must believe God has a message contained in this container of clay that only I can write. I asked God to replace jealousy with trust. I do trust in His plan, His will, and His purpose for me, and my plea is for strength and wisdom to build on His blueprint for my life.

Admitting my feelings represents a healthy step in overcoming them. James wrote, “But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth” (James 3: 14).

Soon it wasn’t difficult to admit I would not have wanted to write the book that induced such envy. Many tears and heartache had been experienced before the author wrote the first word. Deep insight came from passing through deep valleys. Mountaintop highs resulted in magnificent praise.

Paul wrote, “Let us not desire vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another” (Gal. 5:26).

When I read beautiful writing, I desire to give genuine compliments to the author, and praise to God Who inspired the author.

Do you ever find yourself in this same trap? Maybe the ministry isn’t writing, but singing or teaching or preaching.

Let us praise God at all times for His goodness and His faithfulness to inspire beauty – whether it comes though us or someone else.

I have green eyes. I don’t want them to be green with envy.

Prayer: Lord, I thank You for the burden to work for You, and ask that You anoint me to do the work You have for me. Help me to praise others and encourage them in their ministries. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

The Groom Wears What? It’s Summer in the South!

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Let’s talk about what the groom wears when the temperature is sizzling and you have an outdoor wedding. Men, do I have your attention? Brides, pay attention, too.

Traditionally (don’t you sometimes resent that word?) the groom appears in a tuxedo with a cummerbund and perhaps a bow tie and vest that matches the brides colors or the theme of the wedding. And, yes, it is elegant. A man who lives in Levis or in shorts and T shirts is completely transformed in appearance when he puts on a tux and people are wandering around looking for the groom because they don’t recognize him. Even if you’re used to seeing him in suits, there’s something exceptional about the way he looks in a tuxedo. We have to admit that a man in a tux looks awesome.

But let’s get real. Let’s talk about weddings held outside in the summer on the Southwest dessert – or anywhere in the south where the humidity races with the temperature to determine which can go the highest. Putting him and his attendants in a tuxedo is like putting them in a sauna, turning up the heat and leaving them there to cook.

Of course everyone is uncomfortably hot. The bride in those yards and yards of fabric at least can go strapless as can the bridesmaids. But the groom and groomsmen have a long sleeved shirt, a vest, a cummerbund and a jacket that could keep them warm in Alaska. The air flow is completely cut off at the neck because he’s strangled with a necktie that is uncomfortable even in winter.

So what can you do about it?

Show me the rule written in stone that says the groom has to wear a jacket. There are some wonderful shirts that can be worn without a jacket and still look quite elegant. Or you can have shirts made to fit the theme of your wedding. A white tuxedo shirt with wonderful studs and cufflinks and a bow tie – and perhaps suspenders – can be quite elegant and make a statement that weddings are as much about setting your own style and being comfortable as about trying to out-dress those whose ceremony is held in the air conditioned comfort of a church. Another idea is to let the groom and his attendants wear a vest that matches the bridesmaid’s color and go without the jacket – or wear the tuxedo shirt and black vest with a tie that matches the color or the bride’s attendants.

If you want to get creative, you can choose a themed wedding that allows everyone to be comfortable. A Hawaiian theme, for example, allows the bride to choose something beautiful and elegant and the rest of the wedding party to come in loose fitting, Hawaiian type shirts and dresses. The guests can also come dressed Hawaiian if they wish. I once officiated at a wedding in a muumuu, at the bride’s request. The wedding was on the 4th of July, the temperature was still 112 degrees at 6 p.m. and the wedding was wonderful. Everyone was comfortable and stayed to party long after the ceremony was over. The bride wore a beautiful, cool long dress as did her attendants. The groom wore an elegant Hawaiian wedding shirt and the groomsmen were in flowered matching Hawaiian shirts. They had the traditional wedding leis flown in from Hawaii and lei for each of the guests. It was a memorable wedding.

No one missed the tuxedos.

Editing a Wedding Album

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

So the Honeymoon is over, you had a great time and everybody is asking about your wedding album. What you have is several hundred unretouched images in no particular order. The studio has deleted all the obvious no-gos but you are still left with a formidable task. You have seen the sample albums at the studio and you wonder if you can ever make yours that good.

A wedding album is foremost a story. It has a beginning and an end. Traditionally, the fronts piece is a close up photograph of your invitation surrounded by flowers from your wedding. An alternative could be a romanticized shot of the outside of your church, a montage of items relating to the wedding (garter, necklace, rings, boutonnires or other mementos). Following are highlights from your preparation photos. Must haves are getting dressed, primping in the mirror and making an entrance on the stairs. Don’t skimp in this area because anticipation is most of the fun of a wedding.

After the pictures coming down the aisle, try to set the scene with wide angle shots of the church followed by medium action pictures, then sprinkle in a few close ups for detail and facial expressions. Alternate viewing angles and include pictures of the parents in the pews. Make an effort not to place two similar pictures next to each other for an interesting viewing. Three pictures in a row depicting a moving event can mean much more than a single photo. Take advantage of the multiple photo montages but place them sparingly for the best effect.

Park portraits can start off with a bridal portrait, then a bride and groom portrait. Different shots of the wedding party can be followed by family pictures and more bride and groom portraits. End up on a dynamite close up of the bride and groom.

If you decide to include table shots, make sure you have every table covered. Split up the dancing pictures into groups, separated by table visits, group photos and fun shots. The reception story works best if the photos are place in chronological order. Every story has to have a happy ending so save a few romantic images for last. You should seriously consider allowing the studio to make your choices for you and arrange your album for the biggest impact. They are experts on what most people like and with a few hints from you as to which images are your favorites and must see photos, the studio will surely come up with a winner.

What to do When Your Heart Says Yes, But Your Wedding Budget Says No

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Hopefully, you won’t need this section on budget trouble, but it does happen. Combine emotions with money and new families and it can certainly be the right mix for disaster. So, how do you deal with it and still see everyone smiling and happy at the wedding?

Making the rules

Silly as it sounds, it may help to have a few ground rules for all the adults that are chipping in for the wedding. Perhaps you could all go out to eat and discuss what you want to do. Figure out who will pay for what and write it down.

In the case of step and extended families, it may not be this easy. Unsettled discussions might creep in and accusations of one side doing more than the other can come to light. For this case, you want to talk to each side by themselves. This way neither side will be able to compare their amounts (and you won’t tell either side), and you can talk to them about their wishes in private.

It’s sad that you have to be the peacekeeper in this situation, but it will help for a smoother day.

A separate peace

Another way to deal with the budget and any possible arguments is to set up a separate checking account into which all of the contributors can make deposits. This way, only you know the balance because you’ll get the checks to make the actual deposits and everyone gets to chip in as they can.

You may also want to take the halves of the family out for different shopping errands. This way they can help with choosing items that you need, while also picking up the tab along the way. A lot of parents enjoy being active parts of the wedding plans, rather than just the money source.

In most cases, you won’t have to deal with too much fuss over the wedding budget, but if you should, the best advice is to talk about it immediately. The longer you wait on something, the more stressful it will become to you and you don’t need that when you’re trying to plan a happy day.

Sit everyone down and try to talk out whatever is bothering them. And if something is bothering you, it’s best to just be honest. Let them know if they don’t seem to be pulling their weight or if they’re constantly talking about your other parent negatively. There’s nothing to be gained from pretending that everything is alright.

Tips For Choosing The Perfect Reception Wedding Favors

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Planning a wedding can be difficult, and planning the reception can be time consuming as well. It is important to have a good plan in place to make sure that everything gets done.

After all, planning a wedding is one of the most complicated jobs you can undertake. There are so many details to take care of, from buying the perfect dress to finding the perfect reception hall, that it can sometimes be overwhelming.

== Choosing The Best Favors For Your Style ==

One of the most important aspects of planning the wedding reception is choosing those reception wedding favors that will be best for your guests.

The party favors provided at the wedding reception should be a reflection of the couple’s taste and style, and it is important to choose them with care.

== Local Party Planning And Holiday Supply Stores ==

Fortunately, there is no shortage of wedding favors from which to choose, and there are a large number of places to find such wedding and reception favors.

One place to look for great and unique favors is a local party planning or holiday supply store. These specialty stores often have a wide variety of favors for all kinds of weddings, from the simplest backyard wedding to the most elaborate country club wedding.

== Match The Wedding Favors To The Type Of Wedding You Are Planning ==

When choosing reception wedding favors, it is important to match the favors you buy to the type of wedding you are planning.

For instance, you may not want to buy the most elegant wedding favors for a simple and casual wedding, just as you would not want to buy simple and casual favors for an elaborate country club wedding.

Of course your budget is likely to play a role in the kinds of reception wedding favors you buy as well. Everyone who has recently planned or held a wedding knows how expensive it can be, and prices for everything related to weddings and wedding receptions is likely to continue to rise.

== Shop Around To Find The Best Deals ==

Luckily it is possible to save money on the wedding favors while still giving your guests gifts you can be proud of. There are many retailers that sell all kinds of wedding favors, from the simplest to the most exotic, at excellent prices.

It is a good idea to shop around, and to visit your local party planning store and the internet, before deciding where to buy your wedding favors.

There are a number of internet retailers who provide excellent prices on all kinds of wedding planning supplies, including wedding reception favors, so be sure to check online before making your final decision.

Wedding Decorations: Making Your Wedding Day Beautiful

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Usually, the task of choosing the wedding decorations is delegated to the bride and the female members of the family and entourage. However, it is still preferred that the groom should also help in conceptualizing the decorations to be used for the wedding.

Here are some aspects to consider when deciding on what decorations to be used in the wedding:

* Mood

Will the wedding be formal or casual? Do you want it to be traditional or contemporary? This will help in deciding what candles, flowers, balloons, and other venue enhancements will you be needing.

* Color Scheme

Consider the main color to be used for the decorations. This may be the couple’s favorite color, a color that can be associated with their hobby or the color that is preferred during the season. Make sure that the color of the decorations will go well with what the members of the entourage and the guests will be wearing.

* Site

Take pictures of the wedding site as early as possible so that you can check the pictures while considering a decorating idea.

* Time

Usually, decorations can only be set at the church and at the reception within one to two hours before the event. Therefore, you must consider decorations that don’t take much time to mount. Also, these decorations should also be taken down right after the event.

* Guests

Consider how many will attend the wedding reception and how big is the site. With the number of guests that you will be having, can you still set-up bigger decorations that will take some floor space?

If you have a large number of guests, you may just want to set-up floor decorations near the stage and dance floor where most of the program will take place. Also, you might want to opt for smaller but finely detailed table decorations.

Also consider if there will be kids who will be attending the wedding reception. Kids may get bored during the program and start playing with the decorations that can cause an unsightly mess. So you may just get decorations that are not so fragile.

Another tip, if you will be having several kids as guests, you may have a kids area, where they can mingle with other kids and where the decorations and food are more suited for their age.

* Budget

Improperly chosen decorating ideas will not look well even if these cost much. Also, choosing just two or three decorating ideas, as long as these are implemented well can make a ceremony and reception look lavish.

Also, it is not necessary to buy every item that will be used as decorations. Some professional decorators can give you information on vases, mirrors, table centerpieces, dried flower arrangements, arc ways, pedestals and plants that will only be used for one day.

With these, just adding a few candles, laces and fresh flowers will make your wedding site and reception exquisite.

A final budgeting advice, check with the wedding rite venue director if there are other weddings that will take place during the day. If so, you may want to coordinate with the couple that will be using the venue before or after you. The may agree with your decorating ideas or add some of their own, and agree to just split the decorating expenses with you.

The Lies of the Gospel of Judas

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Many new religions and cults, see the manuscript of the so called, Gospel of Judas, as historical and Biblical fact.

The facts, as we see it, come not from man but from God. The fact is that Judas Iscariot was cursed and condemned to everlasting punishment in the lake of Fire, for his part in the betrail of Jesus.

These so called Christian Gnostic (Knowledge) Gospels, are an illusion and far from being fact.

If these people would read not just the New Testament facts, but the Old Testament Prophecy’s, they would see that the prophecy’s of the betrayer of Christ and the predictions were written before these so called gospels.

For example; “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.”

Psa 55:12-15; For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

Psa_41:9, Psa_55:12-15Isa_53:10; Zec_13:7
These gospels are a denial of Biblical fact and are trying to deceive the very elect, as the Bible indicates, would take place. That is the reason that God stated that He would shorten the days. Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

In a recently published article by a, World Peace Religion, member, we read the following.
“Quote”;Well, this revelation about Judas is nothing compared to the others in the Christian Knowledge Gospels.

In the Koran, (Sura Chapter 4:156) the angel Gabriel who brought Mary the good news tells the Prophet Muhammad that in fact Jesus was not even crucified, a likeness, an impostor was, because this was the story in the Christian Knowledge Gospels which were burned by the Church Fathers forever (they hoped) 1,700 years ago.

The Gnostic Gospel of Judas never mentions the crucifixion or the resurrection. Seth was the third child of Adam and Eve. There was a group of Gnostic (Knowledge) Christians named after Seth, Sethians. In the Christian Gospel called “The Second Treatise of The Great Seth”, 56.6-19 in NHL 332, Jesus Christ told Simon, “It was another…who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I… it was another Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. It was another upon whom they placed the crown of thorns.

But I was rejoicing in the height (the hills) over… their error. And I was laughing at their ignorance. (for thinking it was I who they were crucifying)”. The Christian Gnostic Knowledge Gospels contradict the 4 Canonized Gospels in the New Testament endlessly. The 4 New Testament Gospels contradict themselves endlessly. “Unquote”

The term “gnostic” derives from “gnosis,” which means “knowledge” in Greek. The Gnostic’s believed that they were privy to a secret knowledge about the divine, hence the name. (Huxley coined “agnosticism” on the basis that all knowledge must be based on reason.

We cannot rationally claim to have access to knowledge that is beyond the powers of the intellect. There is nowhere in the scripture that states, that the knowledge of God toward man, is limited to any, sect nor generation, but is open to all whom seek this knowledge.

Let us now look at the Bible for the facts about Judas and the Crucification.

Mat 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. In these following statements we see how Biblical interpretation gets many into false religions and into much trouble.

“Quote”;One need only look right in the Holy Bible to see what is really going on. God the Father said through Prophet Isaiah that the Bible writers, the Priests and Prophets who wrote the Bibles, “the scribes were creating for the people a shelter, a refuge, of lies and falsehoods, (Isaiah 28:14-15) which would cause the people to fall backward and be broken and ensnared and taken.” (Isaiah 28:9-13).

God the Father called the Holy Bible “The Word of Satan!” God said to the scribes, “You prophesy by Baal, Beelzebub, Satan!” (Jeremiah 2:8). God the Father said, “They (the scribes) say, ‘Says the Lord’, when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they wait for the fulfillment of their word!” (Ezekiel 13:6). Jesus launched into an absolute diatribe in Matthew 23 calling the Bible writers, the scribes, lying venomous snakes who spewed their own divisive racist deadly hateful lies right into your Holy Bible and signed them, “said God”, and “said Jesus”. Jesus lambasted the scribes and those who followed the same Old Testament followed by Judaism, Christianity and Islam today.”Unquote.”

Isa 41:24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of naught: an abomination is he that chooseth you.

As far as hell and the lake of fire being a man made thought, lets read; Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

These Christian Gnostic (Knowledge) Gospels not only deny the New Testament accounts but they also deny the Old Testament Accounts of prophecy.

These are the Blind leading the Blind. Those that follow, these types of teachings, are those who, have no knowledge in them of the works of Christ. These people deny all the prophetic word of the Old Testament such as these verses, just to name a few;

If God were unrighteous, would He be able to Judge the World? No. God is just and no lier. False doctrine, Teachings and Teachers, seek to justify themselves for their lack of understanding and knowledge by calling that which is Good, Evil and Evil, Good.

Why Most People Do Not Believe in Evolution

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

There are many folks who do not believe in evolution. When you ask them why they say that people did not evolve from animals or apes and that is impossible. They say well then smarty pants how did all the water get on Earth if God did not put it here?

Well the answer really is quite simple you see animals evolved in groupings and well the Comets of ice could easily have delivered water.

Of course is not good enough for them and they will witness to you. That is where they tell you why they believe in God and how God changed their life. They will say something like, well I was near death and God saved me or something like this or I was an alcoholic or some such thing with a dead end life and God saved me? They might say I lost my job and lost a loved one and god helped me through it. Well I say to these young men who claim such things that;

I have been around the block too, like any other person and found myself respected by the others who got rained on too and made it through and you do not need an invisible friend as crutch to win. If you use such you might win, but you will not have the inner strength of character that many you criticize do. Personally I do not need the assistance of another or a hallucination to help me cope.

And to all my born again friends out there; really your life is a piece of cake compared to what I have challenged myself to overcome. Anything you have done, came from you, if you tricked yourself into believing it came from somewhere else that is your choice glad it worked for you, but you are miss interpreting what happened. Pain, sorrow, joy and laughter is all part of life, you do not need a god to go thru your life experience and still get all that and more.

ISLAMIC/BILICAL PROPHECIES: ISREAL TO CONQURER THE MIDDLE EAST REGIONS IF BEING ATTACKED

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Several Arab oil wells and territories will be captured by Israel in collaboration with her allied Christians nations in case she is being attached by the Arab nations with the motives of evacuating her out of the promised land; the level of occupation by Israel this time will be far larger than that of the 1967 war which will include Arab Countries and regions with an amazing speed of victory.

The Islamic hadith predicted of the mountain of gold which will curse lot of conflicts in the middle east regions. In the past Israel was fighting for her occupation and for her defense but now she will join the war of the black gold and will sweep the entire middle east regions in case there is a major outbreak of war in the middle east indicating the arrival of the warring spirit of King David, the very Archangel Michael the Great Prince originally known as the “Chariot of Israel and its Horsemen”(2 kings 1;12, 14:13-21 & Daniel 12:1-3) sent for the sanctification, defence and for the full restoration of all the accient lands captured by Isreal beginning from the days of Mose(the accient Basham and Gilead at the eastern part of the Jordan which Isreal lost to the Arabs) to the time of king David of Isreal(Obadiah 15-20, Micah 7:14-end, Deut. 29:7-9 & 1Chron. 5:23-26

God is primarily concern for the promised land of Israel which he gave to Abraham for an everlasting possession through Isaac descendants and not for the interest of Judaism whose laws and status of Moses is no longer in full force in Isreal and moreso for rejecting Jesus Christ as the true Messiah. The Lord will be smiting Israel and healing it until she fully come to repentance and to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the true Messiah in their own land and no more going on exile.

The Islamic hadith predicted that the Arab nations in the middle east will be pushed to a tight conner by the Christain nations during the battlefield seeking for who to deliver them until the arrival of Iman Mahdi known as the biblical Prophet Elijah who will interven having recognized the Moslems as the Sons of Abraham and for their willingness to make peace with Isreal.

But then all the lands captured by Moses and Joshua until the time of King David will be restored to Israel and some will be shared between Israel and the Arabs specially those oil well regions and from thence Israel will be one of the world leading suppliers of crude oil in the world market.

The battle of the black gold will come into full force in attempt to evacute Isreal out of the promised land but this evil plan will turn against her enemies including those distance nations who plot against Isreal’s evacuation. God always remember the covenant he made with Abraham in respect of the Land of Canaan for an everlasting possession despite the stubborn nature of the people of Israel since in the days of Moses.

This end-time battle will be fought in two ways:

1)As indicated in the Islamic hadith, all distance Christians nations will back Israel and fight the Arab nations in order to capture many oil wells and territories and Israel will be very strong and do lot of exploits like the King David of old and the lest army of Israel will fight as king David according to the biblical prophecies(Zec. 12:1-end).

2). The Asian supper powers and others backing the Arabs will be cut off by great biblical plagues like in the days of old during the battle of the five Amorites kings with Joshua where those slain by the plagues will be more than those slain by the people of Isreal(Joshus 10:1-end).

These biblical plagues will be facing those nations on continuous basis as long as the war continue to exist in the middle east until the war ends; The level of the devastation cause by the plagues fighting those nations in the far east and others who gang up against Isreal will be far geater than what will happen in the battle filed in the middle east regions. Consequently, the Arab nations will be cut off automatically from any assistance from those allied Asian nations and others leaving them to suffer it alone as they too will be finding for ways out of those biblical plagues like another battle field altogether. It will be a period of the great tribulation to the Arab world as indicated in the Islamic Hadith unless Prophet Elijah known as the Imam Madhi intervene on their behalf else no Arab will be spared but God will remember the covenant he made with Abraham on the behalf of Ishmael and will bring the battle to an end; although this is not the battle between the sons of Abraham in God’s Kingdom involving the Jews, Christains and Muslims world wide and the Antichrist.

This is the finally battle of the black gold in the middle east where Israel will be self sufficient in crude oil and to become one of the leading exporters in the middle east.

This battle of the black gold is known as Gog and Mago part 1(Ezekiel chapter 38)

The solution to the coming middle east crisis is that, the Arab nations should make peace with Israel and never attempt to quite them out of the promised land through warfare in this end-times because it will not be of any good to Arabs because the God of Abraham will defend the covenant he made with him who brought them into the Promise land beginning with Moses and Joshua

To obey is better than sacrifice
