“What About A Bird messenger” Does the wisdom of Noah in Old Testament days apply to Saints of God in New Testament times? I say to you yes it does, and even more. When God stopped the rain the water began to go down, and after one hundred and fifty days the boat came to rest on the top of a mountain in the Ararat range. After forty days more Noah opened a window and sent out a raven. It did not come back but kept flying around until the water was completely gone. Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the water had gone down. The dove flew back to the boat, and Noah reached out and took it in. He waited another seven days then sent the same dove out again. It returned to him in the evening with a fresh olive leaf in it's beak. Noah knew that the water had gone down more, so he waited another seven days and sent the same dove out again. This time the dove did not return, Genesis 8-12. God said to Noah go out with your family, and the animals so they can reproduce and cover the earth. May I ask how long has it been since you have heard a sermon preached on Noah, and The Ark? I dare say most of our younger generation have never heard a sermon preached on it. Yes they have see movies, or read story books which only give a fairy-tale-like version of it, but have never heard the Holy Spirit's version of it. Who can we blame for our children, and grandchildren living the life of a way faring son? They do hear about the forgiveness of the father to his way-faring son, but how about the awful circumstances that happened while away faring? There are circumstances to every mistake that one makes. We live with our past even though The Heavenly Father forgives us. The evil seed that has been growing for hundreds of years are overtaking the good seeds by one hundred to one. Why were good seeds stopped being planted? Mom, and Dad, can you answer that? The liberal left that's being dealt with today is an example of upbringing by evil parents. Who will answer for the deadly sins of modern behaved believers that so many proudly possess? Sure we get criticized for being old fashioned, even called delusional, but does that give us an excuse to avoid God's command to us? There is no common ground, either it's God's way or no way. I'm not saying I, or anyone else is always right, but surly there are still enough Godly people left to teach the bible in it's entirety. God is not just a God of love, He is a Judge of the whole world. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp
