What is the difference between a sea surfer and a mere swimmer? *Sea surfers are propelled by the same waves that scare ordinary swimmers<\/b>*. In Christ we are being built to be surfers, not mere swimmers.<\/p>\n
In John 6, many were following Jesus and enjoying His blessings. *When things got tough, many begun to turn away.<\/b>* Jesus turned to the disciples and asked, “will you also go away?” (John 6:66-67)<\/p>\n
*Life in these end times is full of stormy waves.<\/b>* The\u00a0 natural tendency is to compromise or turn back from following God’s ways. “Because iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:12)<\/p>\n
*Amidst the waves and storms, the Lord Jesus bids us to remain true to Him<\/b>*, to His word, kingdom values and His\u00a0 commission. He desires us to be surfers, riding storms, not mere swimmers dreading waves.<\/p>\n
Are you turning away from the Lord and His call because of storms? *You dare\u00a0 not, for there is no life or succor anywhere else.<\/b>*<\/p>\n
