It’s amazing what stupid things people will start a disagreement over. I get tired of it.
Currently, there’s an individual in our church who has really made a muck-up of a lot of things for a lot of years. Well, okay. There’s a couple of them. And I’m sure my turn will come too. In any case, the current fool recently brought me to an anger level I haven’t experienced since before I was born again. It’s a funny thing; trusting Jesus’ payment for your sins makes you a new creation, and you’re so thrilled with the freedom and the relative peace of that new life . . . and then, over the years, things get complicated again.

So who is the most important person in the Bible? Well, besides Him, of course — and his Son and his Spirit.
It’s a curious question really, and maybe there’s not an answer. There are definitely people highlighted more than others, though that’s not necessarily a measure of importance. Saul takes up a good chunk of chapters, but in the long run he seems to be more of an oops than important. David steps in and his branch takes over the whole story.
I don’t really even mean honored. Isaiah, for instance, resonates to our day as being a great prophet. But, in the story he’s more of an observer and color commentator. He’s vital as a narrator, but not as a player.
How about Noah? He’s important. If he didn’t have that faith which builds boats then the story suggests humanity would have been wiped out.
David and Noah are important, for the Old Testament parts. As is Moses. We can’t forget Moses. Or Abraham. Abraham is a rather vital guy for all sorts of reasons. Maybe we could throw in Paul and Peter and John for the New Testament — both because they were major players and because if not for these three we wouldn’t really have much of a New Testament. Thank God for the writers, eh?
These are people we know. So they seem especially important, and for good reasons. But I’m thinking there are others. I’m constantly struck by the character actors in the text. You know, the men and women who show up, say a line or two, and then disappear.
Take this lady, for instance:

My wife Trina and I have been married nearly 20 years and of course each one has been a cakewalk…like every other marriage or relationship, right?It doesn’t matter if you’re an Atheist, Christian, Muslim or Oompa Lompa, if you can’t figure out how to forgive, you are destined to have a very miserable and lonely life.
Without allowing your self to forgive little things will become huge issues and ultimately that only hurts you.
- So forgive the guy who cuts you off in traffic.
- Forgive the person who screwed you over in that business deal.
- Forgive the spouse who takes you for granted…but what does that forgiveness look like?
Does it mean you let people walk all over you?
Not all…and we’ll talk about all of this tonight on Humble O Radio.
