    The God Of Hagar And Ishmael

    Contributed by Arlyn Sunshine Drew on Feb 24, 2022
     | 3,518 views

    The banishment of Ishmael is extremely troubling: it carries the sting of racism, bullying, and some might even say- a hate crime, life-threatening expulsion of a minor based on prejudice. But God turned this tragedy into a victorious coming-of-age drama.

    Let's read it together, Genesis 21:8-21 (ASV) "8 And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Drive out ...read more

    Every Mother's Child Matters

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 7, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,434 views

    Sarah's me-ism blinded her to Ishmael's value; Abraham's comfort blinded him to how best to support Hagar and Ishmael; Hagar, like many of our mothers, had to trust God in the desert. We today must support the Hagars of this world.

    The barren landscape seemed to dance before her eyes, as she looked toward a horizon littered with debris, strewn with the rubbish of thousands of careless people who had gone this way. Filthy and dirty as it was, though, it seemed to dance before her eyes, for the sun was high above and hot; the ...read more
