An Unlikely Twist - Pastor Chris Okogwu

Genesis 38:25 As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please identify whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff.”

Sexual deviancy & other cringe-worthy acts feature in the narrative of Genesis 38 making it an almost R-rated read. Erring Er, Ominous Onan, Simple Shelah & Judge Judah are caught up in a marital conundrum with not-so-tame Tamar. In a largely misogynistic society, guess who is slated for man's swift arm of justice? But Instead of judgment, Tamar finds mercy with both God & man, while Er & Onan died for their wickedness. But why?
