Our Heavenly Harbor Master

Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 13, 2016

Jesus wants to be The Harbor Master in our lives. He knows how to safely guide us into port. He knows the low spots, and only he knows how to get us there, safely. To do so, we must "give up our seat" as captain of our vessel. He must sit in the chair.

Jesus desires to rule in our lives, not to just sit and watch us live our lives, but to be actively involved in our moment- by-moment decision making. To be our Leader and Guide,.. to empower us, to guide us through troubled waters. On TV recently, I saw a documentary about a "Harbor Master" ...read more

Trickery Of Satan - The Doctrine Of Balaam

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jul 5, 2020
