This was the topic in catechism last night and it was really thought provoking.
One of the things we talked about that stood out to me was this: (put into my own words)
What can we learn from the OT? If nothing else we can see this, that many of the people we call heroes lacked faith and sinned like crazy, but God still loved them. Look at Sampson, he isn't exactly the type of guy we would want in our church. David commited something we pretend doesn't happen. But God forgave them and used them, and we look up to them as examples. We are just the same as these "heroes". We sin and lack faith. But by God's grace, were are His children, His chosen people. God loves us.

reminds me of Thursday nights late conversation.
Also remembering Rahab, and Judah+Tamar, and Ruth.
We talked about this a little bit in Bible class yesterday.
