Sailing In Agape - Day Three

LARGO SOUND






TALKING POINTS


1. When the wind (Christ within you) stops moving you forward, don't do anything other than patiently wait.

2. As you are sailing (living as a Christian) the goal isn't to reach your destination as quickly as possible. The goal is to enjoy the journey!

3. There is often a temptation to begin to operate under artificial power (the flesh), but we need to resist that temptation.

4. When we operate under artificial power, the ride won't be pleasant because we aren't functioning the way we have been desgined to function.

5. The wind will blow again. Just wait for it.



Note: the content on this blog series is copyrighted, not so that you can't use it, but so that the ideas I post here can't be used in a book without my permission. For several years, I've planned to write a book about sailing as a metaphor for grace. I still plan to do that one day and for that reason want to reserve the rights to the material so that somebody else can't take my ideas and run with them in a book. You can use this for your own personal ministry to others. Just don't write a book about it :)
