Favoritism

God shows no partiality, but clearly Jacob does, "My son will not go down with you. His brother is dead and he is all I have left." Reuben puts his two sons on the line to recover Simeon, but Jacob acts like Joseph and Benjamin are the only two sons he has.

Maybe you can pick favorites in a culture where you have two wives and two maids. Echoing what Jordan has already said, I can't pick which of my kids I love more. I tell them that there are only two people in the world I love more than them: Jesus and Heidi.

Our love from God is to be for all, not just the people we like best.

Please attend our 10 am worship service tomorrow. A couple of Boston radio stations are going to be spotlighting our ministry at Faith. The one hour program will be aired on May 23rd.
