Not About Problems

I preached once on the meeting of Moses with Jethro in the desert. Moses, at that stage, has just been through troubles of, dare we say, Biblical proportions. Yet in the conversation between Moses and Jethro, there are only two straight references to any hardships. There are five or six references to the goodness of God. This is extraordinary. In keeping with this, as a minister, I continually remind people that the story of His people is about the goodness of God. Too often people get fixated with problems in Churches, and that is not what it is about.
