I overheard The Boss tell Moses, “I’m sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people out of Egypt.” Moses told The Boss that he felt insufficient and completely unqualified for the job. The Boss told Moses, “This assignment has nothing to do with your ‘sufficiency’, or ‘your qualifications’? Do you think I’m in the market […]
I recommend you read THIS BOOK. Below you will find an assemblage of quotations from the book to get you excited. “We underestimate God and we overestimate evil. We don’t see what God is doing and conclude that he is doing nothing. We see everything that evil is doing and think it is in control […]
Once upon a time there was a couple who couldn’t have kids. The wife cajoled her husband into having intimate relations with her servant (for she thought, “It may be that I shall obtain children by her.”). The husband yielded to his wife’s execrable naggings.

Bottom line, it was chalk-full of complexities and bewilderments, AND it was his custom to actively attend. For instance, one time he went to the synagogue (as was his custom) […]
[follower] “What’s on the agenda for today?” [leader] “Today we dine with uptight self-righteous people.” [follower] “That’s gonna be awkward.” [leader] “Yup.” Later that day, during dinner… [uptight self-righteous people] “Why do you flagrantly break God’s rules?” [leader] “I don’t.” Awkward silence… [leader] “I got a story for y’all.

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. Luke 24:27 Where is the Angel of the Lord in Scripture?
