Faith is a topic which is widely misunderstood. This is largely due to it’s being treated like a religious topic or a “tool” to manipulate circumstances and ultimately God to make our own lives more satisfying.
Any Biblical idea which has been stripped of its relational context is doomed to mislead people in the end.
Faith is nothing more that relational, whole-hearted trust placed in God as a RESULT of Him taking the initiative to reveal Himself to us in any area of our live. The trust we place in Him, initiates from Him. As He reveals Who He is to us, the heart response of trusting Him to be Who He reveals Himself to be is what faith is – nothing less and nothing more.

Potiphar means either, “He whom Ra gave” or “Devoted to the Sun”. So in Egyptian thinking this was equal to a Jewish person being called “Holy unto the Lord”. The Egyptians worshipped about 51 different “gods” (though one source claimed 114 and provided names). Ra was king of the gods until Osiris took over his throne. He […]

Favoritism continues in this bloodline There’s something more to it than Joseph being the son of his old age because that was also true of Benjamin.
