Episode 130 - Burn the Ships
Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.
In 1519, Hernan Cortes set sail with 11 ships and over 600 men, to explore and conquer the vast lands of Mexico. When they arrived on the shores of Mexico, they had to either retreat or fight. Many of his soldiers were apprehensive, knowing that they were greatly outnumbered. There was a real possibility of failure, so many wanted to run.
Recognizing the importance of absolute commitment, Cortés ordered the burning of their ships. With no way to retreat, his men had only two choices: fight or die. With one order, they were committed to their mission fully.
True discipleship is a commitment to follow Christ unconditionally. Today, God is calling us to burn the ships of our own safety nets, and pick up the cross and unconditionally follow Jesus no matter where He may lead.
