How did Noah know?

Austin Gardner • January 3, 2023

We must teach others what we have learned!

Genesis 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 


Reading the story of Noah should wake us up to the importance of the oral teaching of the Word of God. Noah did not have a written copy of the Word of God. Noah knew the truth because someone had taught him. Noah learned through discipleship and mentorship.


Seeing how Noah and his family knew the truth should motivate us to teach our children first. Then it should help us know the importance of church services and hearing the preached Word. It also should motivate us to disciple others. People learn orally many times. 


After Noah gets off the ark, he and his family worship God with sacrifices on the altar. Noah knew how to make sacrifices. He knew that he should make sacrifices. He knew which animals were acceptable animals to offer. 


The worship and honoring of God is beautiful, but maybe more impressive is how Noah knew all that when it wouldn't be written till Leviticus by Moses hundreds of years later. 

God taught His people before giving the written version. Parents then taught their children. Parents passed down the truth to their children for generations. 


What should you do with the truths you learned? Are you teaching your children? Do you faithfully attend church and listen well? Do you disciple others?

We need policies and control mechanisms but must learn not to rely on them exclusively. They undermine the very essence of a thriving workplace.

Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary.  Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
