All That's Well Doesn't Always End Well
Ken Trivette
Genesis 9:19-29
1. As you read the Bible you find that its heroes are faithfully depicted, whether it is their successes or their sins. God always paints human nature in its true colors. God exalts the successes of man and exposes the sins of man. It gives both the bright spots and dark blots of its characters. It compliments the successes and condemns the sins.
2 This honesty of the Bible reminds us that there is no person that is not capable of making a mistake.

''Weight watchers will meet at 7:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church. Please use large double door at the side entrance.'' ''Pastor is on vacation. Massages can be given to the Church Secretary.'' ''Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new members and the deterioration of some older ones.'' ''The senior choir invites any member of the congregation who enjoys sinning to join the choir.'' ''Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles, and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children.''
4. I wish that I could say that our mistakes could be limited to a few ''typo's.'' But unfortunately, sometimes our mistakes are tar more serious.
5. For more than 3 chapters we have been reading about a man who walked with God for hundreds of years (6:9). But in the final verses of his life, we see that what's well, doesn't always end well.
6. Notice Vs.20-21. We see Noah's sin and shame. His sin seems to he two- fold. First, there is intemperance. We see Noah getting drunk. Secondly, there is immorality. The word ''uncovered'' seems to suggest some act of immorality. The tense of the words seem to suggest that this was a deliberate choice.
