Not one of all the Lord's good promises to the house of Israel failed; everyone was fulfilled.” The book shows how God kept his covenant promise to give the land to Israel.” We are reminded of these promises through the person and work of Jesus. 1Co 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

There are things we must throw overboard in our walk with the Lord to keep us from a Spiritual Shipwreck, particularly for the church. Things to toss overboard:  The chief factor is compromise, Backbiting, gossip, and slander and even  entertaining such things, Constant relentless  complaining, Entitlement, Unrealistic expectations for leaders, People pleasing, The church trying to  look like the world, and The lack of discipleship and disciple making.  Things to Bring Aboard: 1. Bible reading- Getting in Word will Point us  to A Spiritual True North.  2. Meditation -Prayer, it helps us get our mind,  heart, and motives in a correct place lined up  with the Lord's will.  3. Worship- Giving Glory to God by praying,  singing, and adoring Christ.  4. Giving away money- Being generous in our  giving of money, time, and talents  5. Solitude- Spending time alone with God.  6. Fellowship- With God and One another  7. Evangelism- Sharing the gospel with others  who are lost.  8. Serving- This implies serving the Kingdom of  God by all of the above.
