Why life sometimes falls apart

This morning I spoke on the above theme looking at the life of Paul. I discussed three important points in the life of Paul:

  1. Paul was fixated on his purpose -  Acts 21:1
  2. Paul was compelled by the Great Commission, so much so that he took advantage of every opportunity
  3. Whenever the enemy tries to disrupt God’s plans, the Lord always intervenes - Acts 23:12-34.

Some reasons why life falls apart:

  1. Wrong voice - Acts 27:10 -  Did not listen to Paul but the sailors
  2. Wrong ship - Acts 27:8 - Not able to sail in winter
  3. Wrong choice - Acts 27:8  -  Found v Ordained
  4. Wrong timing - Acts 27:9 - Usually the don't travel in winter

Some tell-tale signs that a marriage is likely to be run-aground:

  • No spiritual compatibility
    • 2 Cor 6:14
    • Ex 20:12
  • No social compatibility
    • Age ddifference (woman older than man)
    • Income difference
    • Family background
  • No leadership compatibility
    • Who is calling the shots?
  • No common values compatibility
Catch phraseWhat God thinks about you is more important and sometimes more stringent than what men think about you.
