The Kind Of Man God Uses
Rick E. Ferguson
Genesis 6:5-22
As we continue our study in the book of Genesis (the book of beginnings) we come today to one of the great events of human history: The story of Noah and the ark, and the great global flood of God's judgment upon the earth.
NOTE:Some of you businessmen will want to study Noah carefully. He has been acclaimed as the best financier in the Bible, because be was able to float his stock while the whole world was in liquidation.
Do any of you fishermen know what instructions Noah gave his sons about fishin-g off the ark? Go easy on the bait boys, I only have two worms!
Now some would contest the historicity of this great event. The story of the world-wide deluge and Noah building an ark of sanctuary, in which God preserved all living species, does not fit well with the anti-supernatural bias of modern-day thinking. The modern rationalist and empiricist looks scornfully to Genesis 6 and calls the story of Noah and the ark fable, myth or saga. Again, this is the result of a tremendous anti- supernatural bias. As I told you in the very beginning of our study in Genesis, if you can accept the first four words of the Bible (''In the beginning God'') then you won't have any problem with the rest of Scripture.
I want you to know that I believe that the story of Noah and the ark happened just as it is recorded in the Scriptures. I believe that there was a world-wide flood and a single man was greatly used of God to protect and propagate the human race. I believe that the story of the flood is a real, historical event.
