    Should we fear God? Many of us have been brought up in a Christian climate where the fear of God is missing. We like to think of the nice comfortable side of God but not His fearful awesome side. Here is just a small insight into the awesomeness of God.

    Despite his past, Jacob encounters God and sees that nothing is the same. God in Christ shows us how to protect ourselves from the devil’s claim that life is ordinary and meaningless.

    Last week we established the fact that Jacob was a cheat. After that incident, and before the incident we read of today, we learn that he is a liar and a thief as well. You all know the story of how Jacob masquerades as Esau to obtain his father Issac’s blessing. It is not too much later that ...read more
