Joseph Continues to Show Mercy to His Brothers—Gen. 50:15-26 #biblestr https://youtube.com/live/T8GADF9wNjI

The greatness of God hides itself here—under weakness, humility, and need. This is not a strategy for influence. This is a theology of the cross.

Prepare for Septuagesima: Daniel 9:2–10; 1 Cor 9:24—10:5 #biblestr https://youtube.com/live/C9Y0cXIGKAg

Nazareth couldn’t handle Jesus—not because He was flashy, but because He was too close: “just the carpenter.” That’s the old sin in us too: we want a manageable God, not a Lord who calls us to repent. Romans 2 cuts through our excuses—“God shows no partiality” (Romans 2:11)—and exposes our habit of judging others to dodge our own guilt. The good news: the righteousness God demands is the righteousness God gives in Christ. Stop treating Jesus like background noise. Receive Him where He actually gives Himself—His Word, forgiveness, and gifts—and live as an adopted heir, not a self-justifying critic. #biblestr View Article →
