“Let me drop everything and work on your problem!” I read on a coaster not long ago. Today I am reading about people who do that.

“SAVING LIVES AT SEA”

From an application form for Coastguard Membership I am learning that Coastguard is there to answer calls from people who get into difficulty on the water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.

In his first letter Peter says in the Bible, ” Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope you have.”

This verse is teaching that disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ are there to answer everyone who asks to give the reason for the hope they have always, 12 or more hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

On the application form for Coastguard Membership is says, “Coastguard Volunteers are ready to drop everything and risk their lives to save those in need.”

The Bible says that we must be prepared always and that we must answer with gentleness and respect. And we must also keep a clear conscience.

THE CROSS

“As JESUS was saying these things,

Luke 11:27,28

Intr.:

A.  a woman in the crowd called out,

‘Blessed is the mother who gave you

1.  birth and

2.  nursed you.’

B.  He replied,

‘Blessed rather are those who

1. hear the word of God

2.  and obey it.'”

End:
