The Forgiveness Of Joseph

Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Aug 30, 2020

Though Joseph's brothers intended to harm him, God intended to work through their actions for good. Ultimately this truth allowed Joseph to forgive his brothers. Forgiveness may sometimes be a decision we have to make but we can do so trusting that God will work good through it.

When Emotions Stifle Our Conscience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021

Many people are struggling with jealousy. Notice how jealousy arises in our hearts only when we compare ourselves with others. Most often our comparisons are only with those who are doing better than us, never with those who have much less than us.

When emotions stifle our conscience In Genesis 42:21, we read, “Then they said to one another, “In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us and we did not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.” (ESV) These are the words ...read more

Love Does Not Envy Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

I envy, but love does not, and so only as I and love become one can envy be eased out of my life. It may not be easy, but we must work at it.

Sometimes the best way to say what something is, is to say what it isn't. If a child asks you what a smooth surface is, you would probably say it is a surface with no bumps and no rough spots.

Let me tell you why… Illus: Most of us, have seen some of these little doll babies that the toy companies make. As these young girls hold these dolls in their arms, these words come from the play doll baby; “I love you!” God could have created us to be like that if He chose to do so! HE IS THE ...read more
