Change in Administration
“Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.” Anxiety from the top levels of government about immigrant labor foments fear and results in oppression… We recall how the sons of Jacob and Rachel migrated to Egypt. Their eleventh … Continue reading →
Wrestling Match
No longer the supplanter, the heel grabber, reborn with a new sense of being and a new name to go with it, Israel… He is the one who struggles with God and prevails, the father a great nation. Imagine, struggling … Continue reading →
Gideon
Something about that story intrigues me. The ranks of the available personnel was whittled away. Twenty-two thousand warriors are released from duty leaving only a relatively small remnant. And interestingly enough that was God’s will. Ferreting out what God has … Continue reading →

I find it fascinating that the translation of Luke’s words into English identifies those who made up the group to check out the rumor were ‘certain individuals’. Certainty seems to have the effect of closing the door to consideration of … Continue reading →
The Fear of the Lord
There’s a fascinating concept in traditional Quaker lore that described the work of the Holy Spirit. It speaks of the Spirits ‘Terror and Power’. When, as Jesus promised, Christ’s Spirit invades a person’s life the first thing to happen is … Continue reading →
