Romans 10:11-21
INTRODUCTION: To help us set the stage for today's text - Let's do a quick survey of who we have represented among us. For those of you that are even slightly into ancestry, or the origin of your surname - this will be easy.
• German
• Scandinavian
• irish (Hello cuz)
• african
• hispanics
• asians
• russian
• Texans?

ILLUSTRATION: It's like some of our men who have jobs in the defense industry. I'm absolutely fascinated by what they do, but I have learned not to ask too many questions. They have a pat answer for me, "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you". Their info. is on a "need to know" basis and apparently I don't need to know.
