The Law of the Family Script

The issue , and it typically gets

Abraham

Genesis 12:11-13 (NLT)

As he was approaching the border of Egypt, Abram said to his wife, Sarai, “Look, you are a very beautiful woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife. Let’s kill him; then we can have her!’ 13 So please tell them you are my sister. Then they will spare my life and treat me well because of their interest in you.”

The Law of the Family Script

What doesn’t get , gets

Isaac

Genesis 26:7 (NLT)

When the men who lived there asked Isaac about his wife, Rebekah, he said, “She is my sister.” He was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “They will kill me to get her, because she is so beautiful.”

The Law of the Family Script

If you don’t deal with it now… they’ll deal with it next

Jacob

Lying moves from being a to being a

Genesis 32:24-28 (NLT)

This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break. 25 When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of its socket.

26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking!” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 “What is your name?” the man asked.

He replied, “Jacob.”

28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on, you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”
