Jesus At The Helm

We are on a journey with Jesus, but we spend most of our time trying to understand the journey instead of enjoying the trip. This book is a sort of allegory. We are God's sailing vessels on a journey across spiritual oceans to discover the depth of our relationship with our Father, with Jesus, and with the Holy Spirit. It's not a journey of destinations, but a journey discovering who we are and what has been given to us by our Captain, Jesus. He has destined us for this voyage to learn through His grace, how to use what we have hidden deep in our inner man. Our destiny is in the voyage, not in the destination. He has given us a Navigator to assure us of our course heading and arrivals at spiritual ports that He has destined us to experience. But will we trust our Navigator and the Captain of our soul? Are we flowing with Him, or taking over by our own efforts to follow our plan? I spent a number of years sailing through the Caribbean, to Central and South America, running from God, finding that Jesus never left me. He drew me back to Him. He then took those experiences to show me how they parallel our journey with Him. It's only by grace that we can make this voyage. So let's take this journey together to find out who we are, what we have been given, and how to flow in this grace.

The New Christianity is about concerted efforts seeking to infiltrate the gospel of Jesus Christ and turn it into a changeable document based on desired lifestyle. This infiltration is not limited to just sins of the flesh; it includes the highest levels of the church, government, civic groups, and gays and lesbians, all forcing their influence into the ship of the church. They have found a place of comfort, but is Jesus at the helm?

In the turbulent waves of life we find ourselves drowning in emotional, financial, health or many other possibilities. When we encounter all that we can handle we must choose. Either we push ourselves away from Jesus or we draw nigh unto His leadership. Yielding to the Master Helmsman is central to overcoming the anxieties, depression and perplexities of the storm. Oceans of tears flow down our cheeks. Our souls cringe with fallen countenance. Yet, there is hope. We may not be able to survive on our own. The Captain of our salvation does not want to go down with the ship we're in. Rather by His supernatural providence He will take the helm of our lives and bring us to the shore of the city we have been promised – if we just trust God and the Spirit of salvation.

Paul Helm shows that instead of dividing life into 'spiritual' and 'secular' compartments every moment of it can be lived fully to the glory of God.
