Explore Torah portion Vayeishev as Joseph’s story unfolds through family tension, dreams, and destiny, revealing God’s quiet shaping and faithful purpose.
So suitable for the modern day church as well. I'll be rereading this portion for the next month.
I love what was said about the prophet:
" Amos, a prophet who does not soften anything. Amos was not a trained religious leader or a polished court prophet. He was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamore figs. In other words, he was not shaped by palace politics or religious etiquette. When God sent him, he spoke plainly, clearly, and without apology.
Adaptation:
People in the church need that clarity.
Amos names exactly what they had chosen not to see:
They were living lives of disobedience.
They were twisting justice until it no longer resembled righteousness.
They were still claiming covenant while living in ways that contradicted everything covenant meant."

Glad to have this reminder.
I am so happy you enjoyed the teachig Lin!
