People of the Bible - Noah, You're My Hero!

Wednesday May 21, 2008
Noah is definitely a hero of the faith. His life, which lasted just 50 years shy of a millennium, exemplified obedience. In the midst of a corrupt generation, he was the one and only person who remained faithful to God. He even managed to stay faithful and obedient to the Lord throughout a very long-term project—definitely not one of my strengths! And that embarrassing little problem he had with wine, you know, when he passed out drunk in front of his sons. Well, that just serves to remind us that even the most godly people aren't perfect.

Learn more about Noah's accomplishments, his character strengths and weaknesses, and the lessons we can take from his life:
