and my husband is not a Christian. I went through much guilt before I handed it over to God and now I can trust that God will work on his heart. It is not my responsibility to convert him. It IS my responsibility to witness to him (with my life more than with words) and trust the power of the HS to work.

As I read Mikes Sumondong's comments I just want to tell him that just showing and living the love of Christ to friends and family who may be opposed to the gospel, is all the Holy Spirit wants us to do. Sometimes it is not the words we use, because, after all, it is the Holy Spirit who prepares the hearts and it is HE who draws people unto the Father. Keep praying for their salvation!

What I find interesting is how ordinary Noah was. He had his high points and like the rest of us failures too. He had a bit of a problem with the drink.

That hurts me so much. I just came from home and i really wanted to share the gospel to my family but i didn't have the courage to do so…I am sorry Lord!

I'm not a preacher, but I hope to have the same impact on my family as Noah did on his. Thank you for this encouraging post, Trey.

I think this is Spiritual Leadership at it's core, that is, the man's role as father and as Spiritual Leader of the household. If we cannot lead our families then we have no business leading anywhere else.

Thanks Trey – Great Post!

For a LONG time, our son just did not seem interested in our faith. His Father's Day gift to me when he was 18 was to say, "Dad, I want you to baptize me in our pool." Up until that moment, I thought about Noah's preaching a lot because I felt I was not even able to convince my own child.

My mother prayed for our younger brother for over 20 years! Today he's very strong in his faith and in his walk with the Lord. Only a mama's prayers, huh?

Good post. I am with you ... if the only people I can show the way to heaven is my family, I'll have been successful.

I only have a wife and a daughter, and I hope to have a 100% success rate getting them to heaven!

Another great post, Trey. Thanks for getting me thinking!

I've often wondered about that, Trey. We assume he only had three sons but he could have had many more. He certainly was old enough to have had them! Yet, three walked on the Ark with him. Whatever his preaching skills, his faithfulness in preaching regardless of the non-reaction of his hearers is amazing.

And I like him because, like me, it took him a hundred years to build a big box. That's the kind of carpenter I am.
