(Insert your name here)
This is how Genesis 6 begins to talk about Noah. I started thinking about our lives.
What if we inserted our name in the blank? This is my topic for our Sunday 8:30am Contemporary Service this Sunday.
Can you imagine generations of people reading all about your life the way we read about Noah's?
Well, it may frighten us to think about it, but the way we live our lives is impacting our own generation and future generations.
God is faithful to point us to the right path, but the decision to get on that path, and to stay on it is ours.
Calvin Miller says it this way, "When choosing which road we shall travel, we are also picking a traveling companion. Jesus beckons us down one road and Satan down the other. Jesus is poorly dressed and is standing next to His own cross while beckoning toward a second cross that He clearly means for us to carry. Satan on the other road is in a sequined jacket holding bank bags {and whatever else may tempt us} and nodding to us with a 'come hither' look. Christ aims to make us useful, Satan to make us a star. WE CHOOSE!..."
Joshua 24:14-15, "Now fear the LORD and serve Him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped...and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve....But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
