God gives us TREASURE S1e167 Gen43:16 7:28

2h ago7:28

7:28

Clearly, the brothers of Joseph are a bunch of knuckleheads. We're in a story of a response of grace and kindness that they did not deserve. How does God respond to their treachery? He gives them more than they deserve. He "puts treasure in their sacks." Watch 7 minutes of my shock and awe. God must be out of His mind. Why would God do this? Watch!…

Who bears your blame FOREVER? S1e166 Gen43:1 7:11

5h ago7:11

Who will "bear your blame forever?" Judah must have had a change of heart. A couple chapters ago, he was just about ready to burn his own children to death. Here, he offers himself as a substitutionary sacrifice for others. This point us to what Jesus is going to do for all of us. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNijvDWAn2Wv2KFun2AnvCA…

2h ago7:35

7:35

My prayer for you today is that you may have the heavy, unbearable weight of your sin. GUILT would be unpalatable, increasing, unlivable, and unendurable. WHY? well, Step 1 is sin. Step 2 is guilt, conviction, weight. There is a step 3 but first you gotta be bereft with yourself. What am I going to do? I cannot live like this. The knuckleheads in o…

Buttering the bread on both sides s1e159 Gen39:21 7:43

5d ago7:43

7:43

Stay 7 minutes and learn of THE defining characteristic of God. That might be just a schooch of an exaggeration, but it is certainly MY FAVORITE: His HESED. It is a Hebrew word that is the Jupiter-sized concept of HIS STEADFAST LOVE; His faithfulness and His sticking with a mostly uncooperative people. A favorite 5 year old described it best: It is…

Can the Lord be with us in bad circumstances? Yup. So then what? Can He give FAVOR to what our hands do? Yup. The Lord is with Joseph and the Lord then gives FAVOR to the actions of Joseph.

7d ago7:51

7:51

How does a person fight against sexual temptation? What resources are available as weapons in the fight?

Worship by Sex S1e153 Gen 38:12 7:46

11d ago7:46

7:46

Judah gets involved with a prostitute that uses sex as a form of worship to a false god. As a great-grandfather of Jesus, this act is tremendously ill-advised.

If God is good, why am I in a pit? S1e150 Gen37 7:51

14d ago7:51

7:51

If God is theoretically GOOD, why am I in a PIT? Does being an innocent or not-so-innocent person in a pit give me a spiritual hall pass? Joseph, who is a junior or senior in High School fins himself asking these questions. He is DISAPPOINTED by people, yet APPOINTED by God. You probably are too. Listen 7 minutes to find out. https://www.youtube.co…

People from the Wrong Side of the Tracks S1e147 Gen36:1 7:29

17d ago7:29

7:29

Genesis 36 sets up the ongoing redemptive story that eventually leads to Jesus. It does so by tidying up some details by describing what happens to the people "On the WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS." That group of people come from ESAU, who is Jacob's brother and Isaac's son. It is mostly not a pretty picture. Listen. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNi…

We are MONUMENTS Men and Women S1e144 Gen 35:14 7:03

23d ago7:03

7:03

Our spiritual predecessors would regularly make memories out of stone. They'd set up an altar or pillar to act as a monument that was purposefully long-lasting. It served to help their memories, and to make those around them CURIOUS. Be curious here. Listen or watch 7 minutes https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNijvDWAn2Wv2KFun2AnvCA…

Repeating OLD NEWS because you FORGET S1e143 Gen35:5 7:39

21d ago7:39

7:39

God re-appears to Jacob and tells him a bunch of stuff that He already told him. Why? Is it because God FORGOT His promises? Or, is it because Jacob is made of dust and he is the one that forgets? The weak link of memory is with Jacob, and us, of course. So, when your podcaster says, "come back tomorrow", it's not because he needs more listeners, b…

Ironically, in the tragic rape of Dinah, she is the only one who comes out of the story unscathed by sin. Others are stricken with anger, murder, passivity, dismissal of value, and sexual crimes.

“I didn’t know rape was wrong” s1e140 Gen34:8 7:10

24d ago7:10

7:10

The truth is, everybody knows rape is wrong. Even before "the Law" is given to mankind, God equipped every human with a conscience and a heart that is pre-loaded with moral truth.
