"Church people think about how to get people into church; kingdom people think about how to get the church into the world. Church people worry that the world might change the church; kingdom people work to see the church change the world." ~Howard Snyder

The Hebrew verb for “believe” is אמן, the same root from which we get Amen, the Hebrew word found in virtually every language. To אמן is to say Amen. It is the quintessential word of faith. In Hebrew, the root has to do with being firm, reliable, constant.

In Genesis 15:6, Abram “believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.” Abram said Amen to the promise of God. He stood firm, trusted, was certain that God would indeed give him offspring like the innumerable stars in the heavens (Gen. 15:5). He didn’t understand how. He was an octogenarian, after all, and Sarai ten years his junior.

Paul, rather bluntly, said Abram was so old he was “as good as dead” and his wife’s womb was dead (Rom. 4:19). Nevertheless, he was “fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised” (v. 21).

In other words, despite all appearances to the contrary, Abram said Amen to God’s seemingly foolish and impossible word.

So do we. If from a man “as good as dead” and a woman’s “dead” womb God could bring forth the promised son, Isaac, then that same God could and did bring forth his own dead Son from the tomb of death in his glorious resurrection.

To that triumph over death we say Amen. We stand firm in the promise of God. And that faith is counted to us as righteousness. Not because we’ve done anything, but because God in Christ has done it all for us.

Lord Jesus, our Amen, the faithful and true witness, give us faith to trust you in all things (Rev. 3:14).

Hey preacher! You have a limited number of sermons to preach before you die. Make them count.

[Greg Laurie @greglaurie]

Do people know you’re a Christian? Do your coworkers and your family members know that you’re a follower of Jesus Christ?

We need to speak up for the Lord. Our lifestyle, the way that we live, should be evidence of our faith in Christ.

Are you speaking up for Him?

[Eastwood Anaba @eastwoodanaba]

We call for a dispensation of holiness and purity in Christianity.

If you’re able to sin without the Holy Spirit convicting you, then you probably don’t have the Holy Spirit.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Having a bad experience with a Christian or a local church is not a reason to avoid the Church or Christianity as a whole.

Just like having a bad experience with a nurse or a hospital is not a reason to avoid all healthcare as a whole.

God didn’t mistreat you. People did.

[David L. Allen @DrDavidLAllen]

Pastors, as you preach Sunday remember two things: 1) Someone in your congregation may be hearing the gospel for the first time. 2) Someone else may be hearing it for the last time. Preach Jesus and call people to Christ who is himself offering salvation thru you to all who hear.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

When Jesus was tempted, scripture flowed from his lips.

When Jesus was challenged, scripture flowed from his lips.

When Jesus was crucified, scripture flowed from his lips.

One of the ways to live like Jesus is to internalize scripture, so that when we are cut, it spills out.

Here are six interesting facts from Genesis 5 about overlapping lifespans, etc.

1. Adam lived to see the birth of Noah's father.

2. Seth, Adam's son, lived to see the "taking" of Enoch and died shortly before the birth of Noah.

3. Noah outlived Abraham's grandfather, Nahor.

4. Shem, Noah's son, outlived Abraham.

5. Shem was still alive when Esau and Jacob were born.

6. Methuselah, the oldest man, died the year of the Flood.

Genealogies may not be people’s favorite parts of the Bible, but they can be quite fascinating!
