The God to Whom I Belong

Of Acts 27 Dr. R.C. Sproul writes, “One of the most remarkable sections of the New Testament is Acts 27.” Now, that might grab your attention. Why? Dr. Sproul remarks that historians have said that Acts 27 contains a masterful presentation of what took place in squalls on the Mediterranean Sea in the ancient world of shipping. Luke’s account demonstrates the accuracy concerning the exact techniques that were used by sailors to guard against shipwreck. That, and the sovereignty and providence of God, account for the well-being of Paul and his travel mates. Furthermore, Dr. Sproul argues that episodes like this lend to the reliability of the Bible. Indeed, this is a great text for our consideration this morning.
