CURRENTLY OUR PASTOR IS PREACHING THROUGH THE BOOK OF HEBREWS AND IS NOW IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHAPTERS...CHAPTER 11..THE FAITH CHAPTER...IT IS SUCH AN ENCOURAGING CHAPTER AS WELL AS CHALLENGING. FAITH IN GOD IS JUST OBEYING HIM...LIKE ABRAHAM...IT SIMPLY STATES THAT HE OBEYED....OR NOAH...HE STARTED BUILDING.....IT IS ENCOURAGING BECAUSE ALL THE FOLKS LISTED IN THE CHAPTER EXPERIENCED ALL THE HARD THINGS IN LIFE THAT WE DO, AND THEY HAD FAITH TO BE FAITHFUL BECAUSE THEY "DESIRE A BETTER COUNTRY". THEY EXPERIENCED ALOT MORE UNTHINKABLE HARDSHIPS THAN ANY OF US WILL SEE AND STILL FOUND THE STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING. WE HAVE NO EXCUSE AND SOME MAY NOT UNDERSTAND BUT THAT'S OK.
THIS WEEK WE'VE ENCOUNTERED SOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND AND ARE VERY UPSET THAT WE HAVE THE LORD IN OUR LIVES. EARL SUMMED IT UP BEST WHEN HE ANSWERED THAT WE WOULDN'T BE HERE IF IT WASN'T FOR OUR GREAT LORD. HOW TRUE!
