SO, for two weeks I have done my level best to communicate to you through the accounts of the book of Hebrews...that BY FAITH is really the only way we can approach this thing called life. Today, we are reminded of Rahab, THE PROSTITUTE, who by faith welcomed the spies, and her "faithfulness" was remembered when God decided to lay to waste the city, and she and her family were saved, a PROSTITUTE people! The same one you want off of your corners. The same one that you don't make to feel too welcomed at your church, your kids school (remember she too may have children attending there) or in your neighborhood. Remember it didn't say RAHAB was a "former prostitute" when she demonstrated faith. REALLY? REALLY! So if GOD has grace, mercy, and forgiveness for HER, what does that say about you, and your past? THERE'S HOPE FOR YOU! Pictured is me posing, with a tank behind me. Is your faith like a TANK behind you; powerful, intimidating? Just think if I approached every obstacle with thinking my faith (the tank) is at my disposal.....what rivers I could cross, what...obstacles I could blast away, or crush. How is your faith? Is it enough to live on, so that you are making decisions guided by the SPIRIT in FAITH or you taking wreckless risks? No matter what......THERE'S STILL HOPE FOR YOU (next week's title) and I pray you begin to LIVE BY FAITH, knowing that all things (not some, not a few or a couple...but ALL THINGS) are truly possible in CHRIST JESUS, who strengthens you!
