Shipwrecked Faith







The coastline of North Carolina is known as
"The Graveyard of the Atlantic" due to numerous shipwrecks. There are over 5,000!


    


In the sea of life, wouldn't it be great if we all experienced clear sailing? 

But, there are storms that come our way, and there are times we will most certainly encounter a shipwreck! 




In St. Pauls instructions for living he references
"shipwrecked faith" (1 Timothy 1:18-20)

"I am giving you these instructions, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies made earlier about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight,  having faith and a good conscience. By rejecting conscience, certain persons have suffered shipwreck in the faith; among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have turned over to Satan, so that they may learn not to blaspheme."


*******A storm is coming.....

maybe not tomorrow, next week, a month, 
maybe not for a year.  
But,  know.... a storm will come eventually!
  
Your faith will be tested! Be prepared. 





Your life does not have to end up badly from a spiritual perspective!



You do not have to be 


shipwrecked in your walk with God.

It is not too late 
to make course corrections now.





"Faith that is shipwrecked is faith that has been repudiated, rejected. It couldn't be clearer, based on the Greek etymology. To shipwreck one's faith is to abandon/repudiate the faith, reject the faith."
