Risk Takers

The greatest leaders in any industry are risk takers.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. …

By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. …

By faith Abraham, even though he was past age-and Sarah herself was barren-was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. …

By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient. …

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
