Reading Acts 27 the story about Paul and his shipwreck experience. As I prepare Sunday's sermon which is entitled, "Staying True to Your Mission." The question in my mind is how many times do we allow distractions, disinterest, disengagement, disillusionment, and despair counteract our God given dreams, goals and aspirations? The evil one is always seeking to deny, to deter, or deflect us from what God has intended for us. The good news of the story is that if you stay true to your mission you will find that through the storm, through the rain, through the sickness, and through the pain you can depend on God. Since we can depend on God, then we should live in such a way that God can depend on us. In the midst of all that you are going through, "stay true to your mission."
Thank you. I needed to hear this.
