    Christmas - Risking Your Reputation By Obeying God!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 15, 2007
     | 2,443 views

    Joseph had made a biblical, lawful and compassionate decision to quietly divorce Mary, but obeying God was more important to him than protecting his reputation. How about you?

    Joseph was a “righteous man” (1:19). He knew what was right and he was ready to act upon it. Joseph was engaged to Mary but they were not yet living together (1:18) and of course that immediately sounds strange to most 21st century people. Engaged but not living together! Yet there is even more to ...read more
