The Bones of Belief
Adrian Rogers
Hebrews 11:22
Now, we're in a series of messages on God's Hall of Fame. We're talking about the heroes of the faith. And I would like for you, please, to be finding Hebrews Chapter 11, and I want us to look at Verse 22, An unusual verse. It's about Joseph and his faith. The title our message this morning, "The Bones of belief." The Bible says here in Hebrews 11 Verse 22: "By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones."

They're not going out witnessing or anything, but they're Baptists from the bottom of their head to the top of their feet! You can't get them to think, and you can't get them to visit, but they're Baptists!
Well, I want you to be a Baptist from the top of your head to the sole of your feet! Better than that, I'd rather you be a Christian because, you know, you can be a Baptist without being a Christian. And-I want you to be saved. And all of you, and every part of you, the Lord is interested in, even your bones. Well Joseph when he was dying made mention, or, actually the marginal reading is "remem ...
