Faith in Imperfect People - September 4, 2008

Good Thursday morning! It is a back to work day for me, and a long one it will be too. We have work to do during the evening hours tonight. This morning is also the coolest we have seen in months. A very brisk 36° this morning to greet us with an early notice of autumn. This morning I also started on the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. You may not immediately recognize what this chapter is, but this is one of the more important chapters in the Bible. By faith Noah built an ark... Do remember it now? Yes, the chapter often called the faith hall of fame. In this chapter are many reminders to us of how imperfect people were justified by their faith in God. We have the advantage of the entire New Testament that these folks did not have. The task remains the same though, believe and live in Christ. While the heroes of the faith looked forward to Messiah, we can read the accounts of Jesus' arrival and death on the cross. I like reading this chapter during times of doubt, but there are so many chapters in the Bible that I love! I need to work on being able to recall every chapter in the Bible on a daily basis. Yes, that will take a lifetime, perhaps more, of work to be able to perform such a feat of recall. Have a great day in Christ Jesus, and do make note of the action point in Pastor Rogers' devotional this morning.

God loves you, apart from your performance!
