Isn’t God gracious? We have got a Lord who knows our hearts, knows our thoughts, and knows our fears. When Moses had left Egypt forty years before there were people who sought his life. He was potentially featured at the apex of the Egyptian version of The 10 Most Wanted list.he used to be a family man now, headin’ west with the better half and children, and that potential danger must’ve been weighing on his mind. it was regarded as a part of the rationale why he’d been disinclined to go in the first place. But when he eventually made the choice to embrace ... Read Full Story

The sovereign God of Israel was intimately involved in Joseph’s life. He gave him facility in the Egyptian language. On top of all that, he gave him favor in the eyes of Potiphar. Glaringly, God was the secret of Joseph’s success. ‘Now his master saw that the LORD was with him’. We may expect enticement in the days of prosperity and ease instead of in those of privation and grind. Not on the glacier slopes of the Alps, but in the bright fields of the Campagna ; not when the youth is climbing arduously the steep ladder of celebrity, but when he has entered ... Read Full Story

Moses took a forty-story fall. As we pick up the biblical account, he’s a heavy-hearted, bruised-and-battered soul who has come to a unexpected stop at the bottom. In a matter of mere days, he has stepped off the head of the pyramid as Pharaoh-designate and down to a bedraggled, broke fugitive on the backside of Zipville. Living as we do in a product-oriented culture, we like to package our faith too. We like to sell a slick, shrink-wrapped version of salvation that includes wealth and peace, unending happiness here and now, and heaven by and by. I wouldn’t have to go back deeply far ...

Where had he gone wrong? He had taken God at His word, stood before Pharaoh, and repeated-almost word perfectly-what God had ordered him to say. He announced the right words, at the right time, to the right person, spoken in the right way. The people he had longed to help ( for over forty years ) were now cursing him for enlarging their difficulties and misery. you probably did the correct things in the best way but somebody misread you, reading motives into your acts or words that you never intended. And now you live under that cloud, unable to switch the minds of ... Read Full Story

From a human viewpoint, this was a fabulous begin to a new time. But from the Lord God’s perspective, this was a gloomy day. His people had rejected Him as king, replacing Him with someone as electrifying as a hunky silver screen star. Unlike all those entertaining people, God knew this wasn’t the start of Israel’s glory days. He had demonstrated himself to be a brave and able warrior, an able general, and a powerful leader. When the Ammonites attacked, he acted decisively and strongly, and he did so with respect. This won the confidence of the people and earned him a great endorsement ... Read Full Story

EKET, Nigeria — The nine-year-old boy lay on a bloodstained hospital sheet crawling with ants, staring blindly at the wall. His family pastor had accused him of being a witch, and his father then tried to force acid down his throat as an exorcism. It spilled as he struggled, burning away his face and eyes. The emaciated boy barely had strength left to whisper the name of the church that had denounced him – Mount Zion Lighthouse. A...

Would Jesus pack heat? An easy question you say, since Jesus told his followers to “turn the other cheek”, and this quote is often quoted by those opposing all war or violence of any sort…mainly by those living in safe suburbs and working in tenured academic jobs. Yet this article states that some pastors in the Detroit [...]
