Joshua - Courage
Manage episode 329144366 series 2363257
I had a favorite object lessons from my seminary teaching days that introduced the idea of courage. I would take a rat trap, demonstrate how it could snap a pencil in half, then I would reset the trap and ask for a volunteer to touch the trap. Eventually, based on my incessant urging, a student would tentatively reach out their finger and touch the trap only to find, to their relief, that I had secretly disengaged the springs and the trap only appeared to be dangerous. We would then have a discussion about what affects--either for good or bad--our courage and/or our faith in the Lord. In this episode, we don't have a rat trap, but we do have a scripture story of danger and courage. The questions to us are the same as to those students: how courageous am I?
