Noahs Faith

• Constant pressures of a corrupt society require
  great faith!
• Same standards are in place for Christians today

that you may become blameless and harmless,
children of God without fault in the midst of a
crooked and perverse generation, among whom you
shine as lights in the world, holding fast the
word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of
Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in
vain. (Philippians 215-16)
Philippians 127-28
