For some people, it is the way they handled a crisis, or an accomplishment, or a particular event in their life, that defines their life. Let me give you some examples . . .what do you think of when I say these names?

• Washington - Crossing the Delaware River
• Lincoln - Gettysburg Address
• Benedict Arnold - Act of treason
• Herbert Hoover - The Great Depression
• Neil Armstrong - Walk on the moon
• Pete Rose - Illegal betting on baseball

The Bible is full of these defining moments:

• Adam and Eve - Their sin in the garden
• Abraham - His willingness to offer His Son Isaac
• Moses - The Dramatic Exodus from Egypt
• Judas - His act of Betrayal
• Thomas - His expression of Doubt
• Peter - His Thrice-Denial of Jesus
• Saul - The Damascus Road
