Reading in Genesis today about Joseph and his journey from favorite son, to slave, to prisoner, to favored leader … I was impressed with the phrase that is repeated several times concerning Joseph, “The Lord was with Joseph …”. After he has interpreted the dream and given counsel, Pharaoh asks, “Can we find anyone else [...]

We hold fast to the hope that is found in the forgiveness that comes by Grace through Jesus Christ. “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”

When Herod got to see Jesus for the first time, he hoped at long last to “see a sign done by him”. It is as if he had finally made it to the “magic show” his friends had been telling him about. He wasn’t interested in the salvation Jesus offered, nor the message Jesus preached. [...]

Speaking of the “man who fears the Lord”, Psalm 112:7 tells us: He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. I don’t know about you, but I am sure I’m guilty of a little “over-reaction” from time to time. The promises of God, and the faithfulness of God [...]
