You’re unlikely to see Gordon in your pulpit but is any of his wisdom transferrable to life in your church? In a previous thought I reflected upon the encounter between Joseph and an unnamed man in Genesis 37. Although the man is not identified as a man of God in any way, God uses the…

In a previous thought I reflected upon the encounter between Joseph and an unnamed man in Genesis 37. Although the man is not identified as a man of God in any way, God uses the words he speaks to redirect Joseph on the path that will eventually lead him to Pharaoh and the means by…
