"We've been in this series called Divine Detours. Today is week six and we've been looking at the story of Joseph out of Genesis where God allows

him to experience some difficulty or what we're calling detours in life. God allows him to experience those things as a way to to refine and to shape Joseph's character so that ultimately he can walk in God's purpose for his life."

--Pastor Ryan Kramer

Discover how seemingly "overnight successes" are often the result of faithfulness in difficult seasons. Through Joseph's prison experience in Genesis 40-41, learn how using your gifts right where you are positions you for what God wants to do next.

References:

(1) In my time, The Great Soviet Encyclopedia [Moscow, 1952] stated that Jesus is “the name of the MYTHOLOGICAL FOUNDER of Christianity.”

(2) “The New Testament — Its Background, Growth, and Content,” by Bruce Metzger.

(3) “Losing Faith in Faith” by Dan Barker.

(4) In the New Testament period a heresy known as GNOSTICISM began to develop. This term covered a varety of sects that advocated numerous aberrant ideas totally at variance with biblical truth.

(5) A subcategory of Gnosticism believed Jesus was not a real, flesh-and-blood human being; he merely “appeared” to be. He had some sort of PHANTOM BODY, so much so that He did not leave tracks. That subcategory was called Docetism.

(6) Gnosticism is based on 2 FALSE PREMISES. First, it espouses a DUALISM regarding SPIRIT and MATTER. Gnostics assert that matter is INHERENTLY EVIL and spirit is GOOD.

(7) Second, Gnostics claim to possess an ELEVATED KNOWLEDGE, a “higher truth,” known only to a certain few.

(8) Many scholars are convinced that there are a number of New Testament warnings concerning the errors of a nascent version of Gnosticism.

(9) Christianity asserts that there is ONE SOURCE OF TRUTH and that is the Bible, the inspired, inerrant Word of the living God, the only infallible RULE OF FAITH and practice [John 17:17; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; Heb. 4:12]. It is God’s written revelation to mankind and is NEVER SUPERSEDED by man’s thoughts, ideas, writings, reasonings, or visions.

(10) The Gnostics, on the other hand, use a variety of early heretical writings known as the Gnostic gospels, a collection of FORGERIES claiming to be the “lost books of the Bible.”

(11) Jehovah’s Witnesses claim Christ was merely an angel claiming that Jesus is identified with Michael, the arch-angel (Reasoning from the Scriptures, 1985, p. 218).

(12) The entire first chapter of Hebrews is an argument proving that Jesus was not of the angel class.

(13) The internet article, “Jehovah’s Witnesses And The Doctrine Of The Deity Of Christ” by Sky Cline.

(14) Islam claims Jesus is merely a prophet. Islam says Jesus is not the Son God because Allah cannot have a son. They conclude Jesus is not divine. Neither did He die on the Cross, and thus was not resurrected.

(15) We need to define what woke is. Grammatically, woke is the past tense of “wake.” But in our society woke has come to mean so much more. It is a fairly modern term which means a variety of terms one of which is “conscious of INJUSTICE in society.”

(16) Victor Davis Hansen says that wokeism is a Marxist idea where racism replaces the idea of class struggle. It involves social justice, transgenderism, political correctness, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and opposes meritocracy.

This is Episode 213.

David was very distressed, and the people were grieved, but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. There is much we can learn from this story about how to deal with our own crisies.

This is episode 070.
