Experiencing a few bumps and bruises along life's road right now? Before you start to think that's an indicator you're outside the will of God or doing something wrong, listen to today's Focal Point. Today, as we turn back to Hebrews eleven, we see that just as Abraham had a difficult and hard life, we can expect the same.

The warnings from God must never be disregarded like that! If we do, we'll pay a heavy price. We've emphasized recently the importance of sharing the bad news first, which is, sin requires a just response from God. That serves as a springboard to the good news, and that is, you don't have to incur that judgment.
