WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN PEOPLE MISTREAT YOU? My pastor used to say to k eep 50:20 vision. And then he would point to Genesis 50:20. In that passage we find Joseph's helpful perspective on #forgiveness Joseph was betrayed by his brothers and sold as a slave. Because they thought it would be better to get money than kill him. At least he is good for 30 pieces of silver. Fast forward and he is the king of all Egypt and they come groveling for food and favor. H E STATES - YOU MEANT IT FOR EVIL BUT GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD!-- "But Joseph said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place? As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive. So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.' So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them" (Genesis 50:19–21). Amazing 50:20 perspective. Trust God through the pain today my friend… And understand that God ca...

God is with you! What an encouraging truth! Let me encourage you to follow rest in the Lord's presence today. Even if your current circumstances are a little inconvenient - like say, a den of hungry lions, or a raging furnace designed to burn you. If God wills you stand there unharmed - you will stand. So stand with Christ today and be bold as a lion! What an encouraging truth from the book of Daniel. He said, “Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!” Daniel 3:25

It's quite a verse in the Bible. It will make you shake your head when reading it. And its practical too. Listen to Peter: "The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. 8 Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other" (1 Peter 4:7-8). As you know the end is closer. You know that our prayers must be more fervent and our love for others must grow. The end of the world is coming soon - so, pray fervently and love one another.

Happy Thanksgiving! Consider with me: Five Ways to Foster #Praise 1. Be the top 10 Percent Jesus healed the ten lepers and then asked them to go to the priest to show their cleansing, only one returned to thank Him. Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they?" (Luke 17:16–17). It is sad that so few thank, the Lord so we should be among that top one percent. Please do that today. Please honor the Lord with your Gratitude. And as you do, you can thank Him first of all for the inner spiritual cleansing from the leprosy of sin. Lord help us to thank Him for all that He has done for us! 2. Focus on the Gospel You may have a rather crummy time right now but spiritually if you have Christ you have everything… Focus on those praises. You and I have so much in Christ. God gave His greatest gift of Heaven, His Son for you and for me. So, let us thank Him and live for Hi m. In "A Gospel Primer for Christians", Vincent remind...

This week we are going through the I AM statements of Jesus in John's Gospel. Jesus reveals to us that He is the door. Of course this revelation is in the context of the Shepherd of the Sheep, so He is the one that gives access to the sheepfold where it is safe and He is able to protect them. But you have to come through Him. Jesus is the door, the gate. If you are trying to gain entrance into God’s family by your own works, or by some religious ritual, you have not gained access. Come through Christ and Christ alone. He welcomes you to His fold.
