Rick Joyner: Avoiding Shipwreck Focusing on the lessons in I Timothy 1:18-19 and Acts 27 helps us to understand how to avoid suffering shipwreck in our lives. Four main factors caused the shipwreck that Paul was on: 1) Dissatisfaction in their circumstances. 2) Impatience-they were in a hurry to get to Rome. 3) They got a clear word from the Lord about what was coming but didn't heed it. 4) Being dependent on circumstances to give them direction, instead of being led by the Spirit. Bishop E. W. Jackson: Isaiah 6:8 is the focus of his message, Answering the Call.
