The Love Of Godly Mother Mother’s day sharing

How can one define a mother? She is the strongest of the woman yet the most loving and gentle. She is your most active supporter and at times your harshest critic. Every second Sunday in May we celebrate & honor mothers. Of course, most of us know one day is not enough to thank a …

Genesis:38 – A Thread of Hope

Now, we come to one of the most sordid chapters in the Bible. I am pretty sure, you rarely read this chapter and not too many people use this portion of the scripture to preach or teach. We started looking at the life of Joseph in the last chapter, and this story of Judah contrast …

Being a Father is a Ministry

As a father, I feel Father's day is least celebrated, hyped holiday on the calendar. Dad's don't even get their day. We are thrown in together with GRADS. All over the place, you see Grads & Dad's.

Gen 33: Brothers Reunite

We learned a beautiful lesson in reconciliation back in chapter 25 where two brothers, Isaac and Ishmael reunited at the grave of their father Abraham. Once again, here two brothers are meeting after 20 years. As we saw in the last chapter, Jacob was very anxious about meeting Esau. As he was plotting and planning …

Gen 31: Jacob’s return to Promised Land

 Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has acquired all this wealth.” 2 And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and indeed it was not favorable toward him as before. 3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, “Return to …

Gen: 30- Jacob blessed with Sons & Flocks

As we learned in the last chapter, Leah gave birth to four sons. She was hoping to win over her husband Jacob, but it did not quite a workout that way. On the other hand, Rachel was barren and she was not happy about it. In short, both sisters were unhappy in their marriage. Let's look …
