  • Summary

  • Life can be compared to a voyage, Christopher Columbus set sail with his fleet on one of his many voyages from the ports of Spain. On the way to his destination the fleet encountered heavy rain, dark electrically filled skies, hurricane force winds, and the raging wrath of the angry seas, all in the hopes of finding riches and glory when they arrived at their destination in the New World. So is the life of each and every one of us. Like Christoper Columbus each one of our lives has a destination, and as every second, of every minute, of every hour go by, we are slowly getting closer to it. Many of an experienced sailor has set sail from their homeland for far away majestic ports, in the search of fame, fortune and dreams of splendor, only to lose hope in the storm and become a casualty of the unpredictable sea. Life is like that, unpredictable. One day everything is going well, and the next you're drowning in a sea of problems. From the moment of our conception God puts wind in our sails and we set sail in life, from then on, we are faced with turbulent times from the world, the flesh and the Devil, that do their best to stir the waters beneath us. Like waves pounding on the side of a ship, we face stress on every side, we have our problems at work, we have problems at home, problems with our children, our spouses, we have bills and debts to pay, the rent or mortgage is due, unemployment is alarming, gasoline is skyrocketing, not to mention health problems and the potential of a bad diagnosis from the Doctor informing us we may have a potential life threatening disease. The Disciples of Jesus were in fear of their own lives when they found themselves in a raging storm on the Sea of Galilee. That evening when they set out the sky was clear, but as the evening went on the sky grew darker and they found themselves in the middle of a storm. As they sailed further out to sea the Disciples became frantic! The boat was beginning to sink. They were all going to die, and they knew it. Then after everything else they could have earthly done in their own strength to save themselves failed they looked to Jesus who was sleeping in the back of the boat. They awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher. do you not care that we are perishing? "Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea," Peace be still" and the wind ceased and there was a great calm." Matt 8:23-27 Are you overwhelmed by the problems of this life?, are you overwhelmed in grief and sorrow? My friend God saying to you at this very moment "Peace be Still" I am very thankful that the Lord has drawn you to this podcast, for some I know it's just out of curiosity, while others are looking for Biblical encouragement, truth, and answers to the difficult problems that you are experiencing. My name is Anthony, I am a Biblical Counselor, who identifies with what you're going through, but first and foremost I am your brother in Christ, and I take very seriously the endeavor the Lord has put on my heart to help you and lead you to His grace, mercy and love. It is my hope to answer the questions you may have and give you Biblical Insight that you may have never learned before. There will be no "Hocus Pocus" or empty promises. As Barnabus was a faithful companion and encourager to the Apostle Paul, it is my hope to be a companion and encourager to you. I promise we will get through your problem together, I offer you the chance to email, contact me by telephone, or set up a online video call. Having said that, I have great and exciting news for you, God loves you and is concerned for you, even though at this time he seems a million miles away. I promise He is nearer than you think.
