When I read or think about the life of Joseph in the Old Testament I often ask myself a question that I want to ask you. What would somebody in your circumstances do if you were absolutely confident that God was with you? In each of these cases, Joseph acts with the confidence that God is with him. He doesn’t get dismayed that things don’t go according to plan. Most of us equate God’s presence with comfortable circumstances. When things are going good, God is good. When things are going bad, where did God go? God, what are you doing, taking a vacation? Are you resting? It leads us to ask this question – what would somebody in your circumstances do if you were absolutely confident that God was with you?

George Santayana, the Spanish philosopher once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it!” Solomon, the wisest man in the world, once said, That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. (Eccl. 1:9) Sadly, those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat the failures of the past.
Church history is one of those topics that the “hyper-spiritual” deem to have little value. Putting down the study of church history ranks right up there in the “ignorant Christian” poll with those who boldly declare, “I don’t want to study theology or doctrine; I just want to read the Bible!” Jesus knew the history of His people and He knew the doctrines of the day, as did the Apostle Paul. It was their knowledge of these practical areas that made t

When you think Pat Robertson can't say anything more stupid than he has in the past he does... He has no doubt accomplished some great things but to keep blaming God for tragedies is beyond belief. He has repeatedly said through the years "God said" certain things would happen that did not so you would think he would learn to keep quiet in times like this. Don't be drawn into this thing Pat said about Haiti being cursed. Gal 3:13 says Christ has redeemed us from the curse by being made a curse for us... God never causes pain in our lives, NEVER! James 1:16-18 says; "Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

Any good thing we experience in this world is a grace thing. The Bible says in Eph. 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” These verses are very clear that we should not think for a moment that our goodness has earned us any good thing from God. There are some core statements and beliefs that I often share in our church that I want to share with you, all of which are made possible because of grace:
- God is GOOD all the time!
- God’s not mad at you no matter what you’ve done or where you’ve been
- Having a
