Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God (Genesis 6:9). In the midst of the Flood narrative, in which we are told that God saw all the world as corrupt and decided to destroy every breathing creature, we read in contrast that Noah was righteous, blameless, and walk| JustinHuffman.org | The Online Home of Pastor Justin Huffman
Our first and primary obligation is certainly to the local church. The Bible is very clear on the fact that we are to financially support those pastors who minister to us spiritual things, by ministering to their physical needs (1 Corinthians 9:7-11; 1 Timothy 5:17-18).

Jesus paradoxically describes those as happy who are poverty-stricken in their souls. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3). As upside-down and inside-out as this may sound, if we believe Jesus then we certainly want to know what he is talking about. Wha| JustinHuffman.org | The Online Home of Pastor Justin Huffman
Do not fear, only believe (Mark 5:36). As you read this, you may at this moment be filled with hope and expectation ... or you may be filled with dread and anxiety about the future.

Now concerning the collection for the saints ... on the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come (1 Corinthians 16:1-2).

Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts... (1 Corinthians 14:1). Christians should desire giftedness. Although any spiritual gift is useless unless it is practiced in love (1 Corinthians 13:1-2), Paul exhorts the saints to desire the spiritual gifts.

I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God (1 Corinthians 11:3).
