Adventures of Faith

My grandboy!

ADVENTURE:

Webster’s dictionary defines “adventure” as an undertaking involving danger and unknown risks.

       Although I’m not in any danger, the financial risks and passel of unknowns surrounding my work on three storybooks is truly an adventure of faith for me. In the Bible, Hebrews chapter 11 is known as “God’s Faith Hall of Fame”. Here an unidentified author testifies of numerous heroes of faith who risked their very lives for the cause of Christ.

       By faith…Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, shut the mouths of lions, quenched fire, escaped the edge of the sword, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight!

       Yet others, in their faith, were tortured, mocked, scourged, chained, imprisoned, stoned, and even sawn in two: men of whom the world was not worthy!

       THEREFORE, since we, the modern-day potential heroes for Christ, have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith! (Heb. 12:1-2)
