In the sermon "Numbers 31:25-32: | The Cost of Coasting," Pastor Daniel Fox warns against the spiritual dangers of "coasting," or disengaging from the active Christian "fight," using the tribes of Reuben and Gad as a central example. While the division of spoils in Numbers 31 shows a greater reward for those who fought, the tribes of Reuben and Gad in Numbers 32 attempt to take the "easy path" by settling for land short of God's full promise, a decision that Moses warns will discourage others. This desire to "coast" is also exemplified by King David, whose decision to stay back from battle led to his great sin with Bathsheba. The sermon concludes by highlighting the long-term consequences of such compromises, noting that centuries later, the land of the Gaderenes (descendants of Gad) was a place filled with demons and unclean pigs, demonstrating how slow compromises can lead to spiritual decay and bondage.
