Walter Spires - Minutes For Men

Great encouragement and security were Noah's simply by doing what God told him to - regardless of how crazy it seemed.  He offers the same protection to us, and we do not have to build an ark to get it.  Listen and learn how.  Bible references: Gen 7: 9-16 (NIV) desperatemen.org

God demanded just one thing from mankind.  While Noah was not perfect, he demonstrated this more than any other man before or after.   Bible References: Genesis 6:  13-22 (emphasis v22) www.desperatemen.org

From Adam to Noah is just ten generations.  Yet God became so disgusted with the humankind of His creation, He decided to destroy them and start over - except for Noah and his family.   Bible References: Genesis 5, 6: 1-9 www.desperatemen.org

"Where are the facts?", demand skeptics and Bible antagonists as we stake our claims that Adam and Noah were real men.  Either Jesus, the prophets, Peter, and Paul are serious liars OR ... Bible references: Matthew 19: 4-5, 24: 37-39; Luke 3: 23-38; Romans 5: 12-12; 1 Peter 3: 20, 2 Peter 2: 5 (there are many more) www.desperatemen.org

Despite his failings for which he is so well known,  Adam must have done some things right after he and Eve were escorted out of Paradise into the "real world".  Read more about this in Genesis 4.  www.desperatemen.org

Caught hiding in the bushes and called out for his sin by God, our father Adam did what many of us do...blame someone else.  (I guess all of my issues are really his fault!)  www.desperatemen.org

(From Genesis 3: 6-11)  Even though we think it was foolish for Adam to hide in the bushes from God, we do the same thing hoping He did not see our sin or ask us what we have been doing lately. 

Where was Adam when Eve was being tempted by Satan?  Why did he succumb as well?  Can we avoid repeating Adam's failures? 

We began this series introducing the Bible as the Word of God (His-story).  We got a glimpse into His creation process, and now our story begins...enter father Adam.  

This new series features "famous and infamous" men in the Bible whose mistakes, failures, and successes were made known to us to (1) help us better understand our God and (2) apply what we learn to our lives.
