All Kinds of Heros!

The word "heritage" means "something that comes or belongs to one by reason of birth," and "anything that has been transmitted from the past or handed down by tradition."  In other words, when we are born again, we inherit a history of notable heroes of all sorts.

For example, there are musical heroes, like Johann Sebastian Bach, who wrote all his music to glorify God.  Or Fanny Crosby, who wrote hundreds of hymns in spite of the fact that she was blind.

There are scientists who qualify as Christian heroes as well.  For instance, George Washington Carver rose from the humble beginning of slavery to becoming famous for his agricultural discoveries, for which he gave all credit to God.


There are even a few athletes who have been heroes of the faith.  Eric Liddell, for instance, was an Olympic runner who stunned the world when he refused to run on Sunday.  If you study his life, you'll find out that as he grew older, he became a dedicated missionary to China. 

Missionaries are another group of Christian heroes.  Gladys Aylward was refused by all mission boards, but still felt sure of God's call to share the gospel in China.  If you'd like to know more about her, you can get an overview by watching the old movie "Inn of the Sixth Happiness."

These are just a few ideas for heroes who would make an interesting topic for a poster. 

O give thanks unto the LORD; 

call upon his name: 

make known his deeds among the people.

 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: 

talk ye of all his wondrous works.

(Ps. 105:1-2)
