Those Final Moments

Date:

God translates the life of an individual after death, and only then can we measure the significance of that life.

Lasting Impact

Date:

Joseph's sons were with their grandfather as he approached those final moments. They felt his hand on their foreheads and heard his tender, wise words of blessing. "May God bless the nation as He blesses you."

Final Promise

Date:

On Jacob's tombstone, Joseph could have placed the words: "He worshipped." Years earlier, of course, "He deceived" might have seemed more appropriate, but now that Jacob was almost a century-and-a-half old, he had come a long way with God.

The Test of Integrity

Date:

What is striking is that Joseph did not abuse that power—not once! God had raised him up from slavery, and he never forgot how marvellous a deliverance that was.

Innovative Planning

Date:

Leadership calls for the stretching of creativity. If you are a leader, you will occasionally find yourself up against a blank wall.

Loyalty Test

Date:

Do you serve under someone else's authority? Obviously, most of us do. How's your spirit, your attitude, toward that person to whom you answer?

Final Family Reunion

Date:

No amount of solid family ties will fit you for heaven. Only through Christ will you be included in His family roll call.

God in the Move

Date:

As children of God, we're to listen to the voice of God and ask, Is God in this? Does this please Him?

The Nature Within

Date:

I think it is safe to say that we are to trust one another, but we are never to trust one another's nature.

Walk by Faith

Date:

You say you want to be considered great some day? Here's the secret: walk by faith, trusting God to renew your attitude.
