Why not?
Noah got drunk.
Abraham lied about his wife.
Jacob was a swindler.
Mosses stuttered.
He also had an anger problem.
Hosea married a prostitute.
David had an affair.
Solomon had a bunch of wives.
The woman at the well had a bunch of husbands.
Naomi was a widow.
Sarah was too old.
David was too young.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
Miriam was a gossip.
Jonah ran away from God.
Thomas doubted.
Jeremiah got depressed.
Elijah got burnt out.
Martha was too busy.
Timothy had stomach problems.
John Mark was rejected by the apostle Paul.
Moses was a murderer.
So was David.
So was Paul.

So... say it again, why can't he use you?:

"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." -1 Corithians 1:27-31

that list was written by Sandra Glahn, and that verse was written by Paul, not me I'm afriad.

  1. Amazing reminder of our amazing God and his unfathomable mercy and grace toward undeserving sinners.

    If this list is not enough, an examination of the background of each of the people named in Hebrews 11 yields similar and possibly more fascinating results.

    Kade,
    I am always so encouraged by the fact that it is not about who we are, but what God has done. God is a redeemer! Awesome!
