    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Feb 18, 2026
     | 101 views

    Why does God allow bad things to multiple good people?

    A. God was with Joseph on the way down. “The Lord was with Joseph . . .” (Gen. 39:23). 1. Has anyone ever “hated” you? “His brothers hated Joseph” (37:4). “Joseph reported to his father some of the bad things his brothers were doing” (37:2). 2. Joseph was “Poppie’s pet.” “Jacob loved Joseph ...read more

    Opening illustration: Children sometimes seem like they have holes in their ears. You tell them what you want them to do, and it goes in and out without ever being registered. But if you promise something special to a child, they will not ever forget. Try to tell your child that you can’t go ...read more

As he was saying good-bye to his family, his three-year-old son was holding on to his leg and pleading with him not to leave. "No, Daddy, please don’t go!" he kept repeating.

    The Story Of Esau And Jacob - Why It's Destructive To Hold A Grudge

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 8, 2013
     | 18,912 views

    For those of us who have or maybe are holding grudges now, I hope you understand how destructive it is for you. It's impossible to love those you hold a grudge against.

    Have you ever held a grudge? I have. I was once accused of plagiarizing material I wrote for a small group study. The person who accused me wanted to fire me, but, didn't have the authority himself to do it, so he tried to diminish my character by accusing me of stealing my material. I have to ...read more

    What can we learn of our own character and of God's grace when we study Esau selling his birthright?

    “These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.
