Soil from Stone: What Was Sarai's Status in Pharaoh's House?

From Genesis 12:15 - "...the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house." Sarai was taken to live in Pharaoh's house, but only in a state of sem...

Yom Tov. I have begun to read some of Charles Finney's writings and although the following is from his exposition on Freemasonry, it is good for all of us today. I will add to it though that we are to try to move forward and learn more even if we are behind others.
God holds the church and every branch of it, responsible for its opinion and action in accordance with the best light, which, in his providence, is afforded them. This, indeed, is law universal, equally applicable to all moral agents, at all times and in all places. But at present I consider its application to the Church of God. If any particular branch of the church has better means of information, and therefore more light on moral questions, than another branch, its responsibility is greater, in proportion to its greater means of information. Such a branch of the church is bound to take a higher and more advanced position in Christian life and duty, to bear a fuller and higher testimony against every form of iniquity, than that required by less favored and less informed branches of the church. They are not to wait till other branches of the church have received their light, before they bear a testimony and pursue a course in accordance with their own degree of information.

“Paul didn’t view his work as a tentmaker as a distraction from his work to make disciples of Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ. Rather, he chose to work as a part of a deliberate strategy to “become all things to all people” (1 Corinthians 9:22), to preach the gospel in word and in deed, and to disciple other believers.”

As women and mothers, as nurturers, we identify clearly with the life, death and resurrection power of our Messiah.

Our work is to pour out our lives for the sake of the high calling in Him.

Just as Yeshua did not come to be served but to serve, we, too, as women in our roles should take up our stake and be willing to follow Him, dying daily to our flesh, yet trusting that we will be raised to new life at His revealing."

So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
Genesis 12:18

Even the ancient Egyptians recognized the sanctity of marriage. What's wrong with America?

On this date in history, 10/30/1938: Orson Welles performs "The War of the Worlds" for a Halloween episode of The Mercury Theatre. Many listeners miss the opening announcements and mistake the performance for actual news broadcasts. #otd #tdih #literaryhistory
