Food for thought . . .
Three times the patience of the Lord was tested. Three times he had enough. Three times he pronounced judgment. Three times he communicated his intent to three different men. One man talked him out of it. One man talked him into adjusting the plan (if only for the sake of argument). And one man didn’t even argue just accepted.
Moses - Abraham - Noah
Ever wonder why Noah didn’t try to talk God out of it?
Ever wonder why Moses did?
We can deduce Abraham really loved Lot.

One of our members and local reader of ye ol’ blog. Read my blog about giving money to someone who would just buy beer with it. She came up to me after mid-week tune-up last night with a mischevious smile and said: “I’ve got a proverb for you.”
So here it is:
Proverbs 31:6-7 (NCV) Give beer to people who are dying and wine to those who are sad. Let them drink and forget their need and remember their misery no more.
And that’s, as they say, the rest of the story!

Aren’t we all really dying? As each day passes we get closer and closer to the inevitable. And that makes me really, really sad.

What do we give people who are mad because we moved the communion table? Just kidding. We haven’t had any negative comments about that for weeks now.
Proverbs 31:6 - 7 might become one of my favorite Bible verses. Salute.

I will never forget the guy who preached a try-out sermon at College one time who talked about Jesus turning the water into grape juice. It was the first time I had encountered the concept of changing the Bible to fit our own personal comfort zone. After a while, it was pretty funny because every time he said “grape juice” my dad would start laughing. And he just…kept…saying it!
I’ll bet Jesus made some really good wine. And I’ll bet that Solomon had some pretty fine beer.

I think Noah went along with God because he had some intuition or insight that the next covenant sign was not a rainbow, but circumcision!

We invited a neighboring preacher from a very traditional church to speak at our summer Wednesday night series. It was a bad mistake but we were trying to be nice and build some ties. His main point in his lesson was that we should be trying to convert those who belong to “religious organizations.” He refused to say “churches” or even “denominations.” He kept saying “religious organizations” over and over again. It‚Äôs sad to see someone so arrogant under the guise of love.

Your verses remind me of Ez 14.20 where Noah, Daniel and Job would have their skin saved, but all others would be destroyed because God had just been pushed way too far. ihxvy
