 Yesterday, as we continued in our series of studies through Hebrews 11, we looked at and learned from the life of a man named Isaac. I have to be honest here concerning the life of this man. I found it very difficult to get excited or encouraged about his life. This is true for a couple of reasons. First, I don’t see where he and I have all that much in common.

He is very much a very ordinary personality in the pages of our Scriptures. However, no matter how ordinary he may be, we can learn some extraordinary truths from his ordinary life.

Yesterday, we continued our series on the “Heroes of Faith.” We looked into the eyes of Noah and witnessed a great man of working faith. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:7, “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

I believe the primary responsibility that we have as parents is that of passing on our faith, values and positive character qualities to our children. We are responsible to make sure they not only know about Jesus, but know Him personally as Savior and Lord. We are responsible for teaching them what is right, what is wrong and why. We are responsible for teaching them traits and qualities that will equip them be a help, not a hindrance to society.
