I love the way God still saved everyone, not just Paul and the 2 who agreed with him, but all those who made the error of not listening to God as well.
This is a great message. Three years ago, though, I made a decision to not stay with the ship. I was in an abusive marriage that had resulted in PTSD, and I stayed four years ... until the situation further threatened my mental and physical health. When I agonized about leaving, I heard these words one night: "I have other things for you to do." I took that as God's permission for me to leave the source of my trauma. Since then, I've recovered so much, have rewarding ministries, and enjoy peace in my life. I don't believe I made the wrong choice, but this sermon would lead me to think so.
It's Anthony from Hong Kong. Thank you for the message pastor. I might have just made a difficult or even wrong decision to discard my ship (my job) without waiting long enough for God's guidance. But I do believe he is with me, he is behind the scene , he 'll keep his promises !
EVERTHING that happens in my life is in the Hands of Evil Business People and I am the One who always have to Pay the Consequences, and no matter how I Pray, nothing ever changes.
I was Raped by a Man I was dating because as We started going to Church and REading the Bible, I remember reading about being Doubleminded, So I told him that we couldn't get intimate anymore and he agreed for the moment, and he was happy with me, it seemed that way, but One Night, He Raped Me, and it Seems like ALL CURSES were put on Me. I am Still PAYING THE PRICE for His Sins.
I need to give you a warning about Business Owners. A Business Owner does not care that citizens from Trinidad see them. And when the Trinidadian's goes into the Owner's Business, the Business Owner will curse them.
I don't see how this helps the victim of someone else's poor choices....why is he blaming the victim....confusing sermon...to me the ship should represent the enemy of God's ppl...not the saints
Amy Smith I felt same way. How does this help someone who grew up in abuse or been raped? I felt more depressed and lost and needed find a different sermon to help me feel better.
Amy Smith The ship is not representing people here, but the actual setback. It's not a case of us versus them, but us versus Satan's attacks on us and on them too. He is the destroyer here. I have a huge testimony if you saw my journey away from and back to Christ, having been shipwrecked after going into the FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt) via a high control group of false Christians. I was abused as a child and I remember feeling scared that any person would suffer hell even for what they did to me. It was right to pray for them as I did at the start, but not right that I was not protected from them by my family and told it was not so bad. That was part of my journey towards marrying into a cult that did not teach forgiveness and mercy. The shipwreck came when my husband was excommunicated for sins way back in his past that he'd long since repented from. He couldn't believe that God was there when he got depressed and we fought over the parable of the 2 Sons or Prodigal Son at Luke 15. He believed that although the Father forgave instantly, the other members of the church were not to do so and that he needed to be disciplined by them to prove repentance, by attending meetings and being shunned for an indefinite time (almost a year in his case). That was our shipwreck, but even though he'd led us into that church, we had the Bible and he had me showing him this scripture, so God was still there, he just couldn't see it and I lost him. I have forgiven my abuser even though he never acknowledged what he did or apologized. I don't need to drink the poison of bitterness, but only the sweet cup of hope I have in the arms of my Father. I leave it all with him and I give thanks that he has welcomed me back to him after the shipwreck.
