Transforming Characters - Noah - Part II: GS Feb, 2010 |
|
|
|
We have been meditating on Noah. In that, the concentration was on his blameless life and walking with God in a world steeped in decadence and licentiousness.
Now we’ll see some pragmatic dimensions of Noah’s faith:
* Noah had an exceptional faith as he undertook & accomplished a stupendous task. Noah seems to be a man of the soil. Noah began to be a man of the soil and he planted a vineyard, Gen. 9.20. Then, how was he able to build such a magnificent ark? The dimensions of the ark are interesting: the ark would have been around 150m long, 23m wide & 14m high. The Ark had a ratio (length x width x height) of about 30 x 5 x 3. According to ship-builders, this ratio represents an advanced knowledge of ship-building since it is the optimum design for stability in rough seas and virtually impossible to capsize. The Ark would have an internal volume of 15,18,750 cubic feet.

Transforming Character - Noah: GS, Jan 2010 |
|
|
|
We are on a series of studies of men and women of influence in the Bible “Transforming Characters.” So far we have looked into the lives of Job, Abel. and Enoch. Now it’s our turn to study Noah. We had already briefly studied Noah in one of my articles. The thoughts on the new beginning that Noah and his family experienced could yield a message that may be relevant to New Year too.
