Eve my friend you might consider keeping better company.

Adam you really need to change your eating habits.

David, David what are you doing standing in that window?

Brother Paul, why don’t you just drop that stone and walk away?

Peter, oh Peter you messed up again. When are you ever going to learn?

Temper, temper Moses. I would have thought 40 years in the desert would’ve taught you something the first time.

Thank God you don’t own a Corvette Saul. You get in enough trouble with that spear.

Mary Magdalene I think there’re better career choices.

Abraham please note: little white lies cause warts to grow on your nose.

Sarah old girl that green monster jealousy doesn’t match those regal purple ear rings.

Noah old pal it’s a long standing fact that a nip from the vine will bite you back.
.
Jacob we put people in jail for less than that.

Rahab may I suggest you start looking for a nice Jewish boy?

Aaron I hope you decide to turn that golden calf back into jewelry.
.
Solomon I think a little male bonding might do you some good.
.
Thomas I’m astounded at just how blind you are some days.

Running away and pouting don’t exactly win you any points Jonah.

A word of advice Sampson, girls are a gateway drug that lead to drinking and drugs.

That’s a nice coat Joseph but I might suggest you keep it under wraps for a while.

Judah must I remind you she’s your daughter-in-law?

John if you keep reminding us you’re loved, we might get the idea you’re a prima donna.

Martha the roast lamb was great but I missed you in Sunday school again this morning.

Mathew I wouldn’t exactly call your success in government a sterling example of public service.

Don’t join the Army little John Mark. The Army calls quitting desertion.

Zechariah if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

With God as my creator, Jesus as my savior, the Holy Spirit as my sustainer and such a great cloud of witnesses, why wouldn’t I be confident?

Got your point! And still, He used them to further His kingdom! God never required perfection, just simple obedience. (And He even works around disobedience, sometimes!)

I enjoyed this very much. It could use a little more punctuation, but the message came through loud and clear. Good job.

I loved this in many ways; some of your advice went straight to the heart!

I wasn't sure how the title applied, and I think this would be even more effective if put in chronological order. And the topic for this week seemed almost an afterthought.

BUT...this is definitely one of the cleverer pieces I've seen on this site. Very creative, and full of great lines with a lot of kick.

You definitely know your Bible. These were fun to read through and to get the message from each one. (I actually have "The Idiot's Guide to the Bible"--I know, shocking isn't it :) --, and they use a lot of these as chapter titles. Very witty and clever.

Clever idea, and much to ponder. Love the voice.

This has got to be my favorite, no kidding, and I don't care if it ties into "confident" or not. I laughed out loud at several and paused to consider the seriousness of many more. What a great voice! And it's so clever and original that I'm fighting being jealous of you.

Very, very good job! I hope you win!

Interesting piece. Enjoyed the voice and the way the fact were presented.

Not sure I understand the title, though.

I want to print this out and keep it in my Bible. I also thought it would be nice to be in chronological order.
