*982** Noah’s Flood*
Population statistics indicate that nearly 3 billion people may have lived on the earth at the time of Noah’s Flood.
This means that 3 billion were killed by God’s judgment at the Flood.

*5234** Ark’s One Door*
In the morning, when the ark-door was opened, an observer might see a pair of golden eagles in the sky.
But glancing downward, one might see creeping along, a pair of snails, a pair of snakes, a pair of worms.
There were pairs of creeping creatures as well as pairs of flying creatures.
But there was only one entrance for them all.
The eagle must come down to enter it, and the worm must crawl up to it.

*The Still, Small Voice*
In /Focus on the Family,/ Rolf Zettersten wrote, “A good friend in North Carolina bought a new car with a voice-warning system.…
At first Edwin was amused to hear the soft female voice gently remind him that his seat belt wasn’t fastened.…
He affectionately called this voice the ‘little woman.’
“He soon discovered his little woman was programmed to warn him about his gasoline.
‘Your fuel level is low,’ she said one time in her sweet voice.
Edwin nodded his head and thanked her.
He figured he still had enough gas to go another fifty miles, so he kept on driving.
But a few minutes later, her voice interrupted again with the same warning.
And so it went over and over.
Although he knew it was the same recording, Edwin thought her voice sounded harsher each time.
“Finally, he stopped his car and crawled under the dashboard.
After a quick search, he found the appropriate wires and gave them a good yank.
So much for the little woman.
“He was still smiling to himself a few miles later when his car began sputtering and coughing.
He ran out of gas! Somewhere inside the dashboard, Edwin was sure he could hear the little woman laughing.”
People like Edwin learn before long that the little voice inside, although ignored or even disconnected, often tells them exactly what they need to know.~*

*The Example*
Christians are always on display, whether they realize it or not.
In his book, /Ten Mistakes Parents Make With Teenagers, /Jay Kesler describes a conversation he had with a young lady at a Youth for Christ summer camp.
/This particular camp was in Ohio, and after one of the services some kids had come forward to the altar.
One young woman was having a difficult time, so the counselors asked me if I would speak to her./
/We sat down in the front row of the chapel, and through many tears her heartbreaking story began to unfold.
She’d been molested by her own father about three times a week since she was four years old.
She’d never told anyone about this and carried a great sense of guilt, as though she were to blame for her father’s actions./
/As she told me the story, I noticed that both of her wrists were scarred.
(If you work with youth today, you see those marks often.) “Tell me about your wrists,” I said./
/“Well, I tried to kill myself.”/
/“Why didn’t you do it?”
I asked.
Killing yourself is a relatively simple thing if you really want to do it.
If it is just a bid for attention, the attempt is usually feeble./
/She said, “Well, I got to thinking … we have a youth pastor at our church—”/
Oh no,/ I thought,/ now I’m going to hear an ugly story about her getting involved with some youth pastor./
But that wasn’t it at all.
She said, “He’d just gotten married before he came to our church, and I’ve been watching him.
When he’s standing in line in church behind his wife, he squeezes her right in church.
They look at each other, and they hug each other right in our church.
One day I was standing in the pastor’s study, looking out the window, and the youth pastor walked his wife out into the parking lot.
Now there was only one car in the parking lot; nobody was around; nobody was looking.
And that guy walked all the way around the car and opened the door and let her in.
Then he walked all the way around and got in himself.
And there was nobody even looking.”/
/That was a nice story, but I couldn’t make a connection between that and her problem of incest or attempted suicide.
So I asked why this seemed so significant to her.
She said, “Well, I just got to thinking that all men must not be like my dad, huh?”/
/I said, “You’re right.
All men are not like your father.”/
/“Jay, do you suppose our youth pastor’s a Christian?”/
