However, the spiritual man examines indeed all things.” (1 Corinthians 2:11, 14, 15)

11. What would have been an unbalanced course for Noah, and how do we live a balanced life today?

¹¹ A spiritual man is one who views matters through the eyes of faith. He sees things from God’s viewpoint. Consider Noah. Would he have been balanced if, after learning of God’s purpose to destroy the world by a flood, he had spent his time building a bigger and better home and obtaining more material possessions? Of course not! The ark was his true security. For Noah, living a balanced, simple life involved devoting full attention to building the ark and being “a preacher of righteousness,” despite the ridicule of faithless ‘physical men.’ (2 Peter 2:5; Matthew 24:37-39)
