Then God raised Him from the dead on the third day. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Now, God commands everyone who is reading this message to repent (turn away from your sinful ways), and to put their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins.

Driving too fast in a flood makes water splash over the engine which can stall your car. Driving slowly to keep the water just rippling a little is more conducive to getting through. Staying home and not trying to drive your vehicle through a flood is the smart thing to do.
