Throw It All Overboard

Paul the Apostle is on a boat headed for Rome. The boat had just recently encountered strong winds that had battered both the ship and the crew. God was gracious and allowed the boat to dock. They were spared and had been given an opportunity to find safety in the port of Fair Haven through the winter. But everyone's wants pressed against God's grace. Paul advised the captain and crew to stay in Fair Haven. He said that if they didn't they would most certaily lose everything. But they wouldn't listen. Now... God has to put everyone on their backs to force them to look up.
