From Background Notes [BN] for June 18th & 19th written by
Pastor Bob Brown:
As any “old salt” will tell us, the sea
voyage has its defining moments when “turning back” is no longer an option, and
where the point of no return requires resolve without hesitation.
Soren Kierkegaard, the Danish philosopher,
illustrated the essence of faith and decision using nautical imagery. From his
work, Concluding Unscientific Postscript, he wrote:
Sitting calmly on a ship in fair
weather is not a metaphor for having faith; but when the ship has sprung a
leak, then enthusiastically to keep the ship afloat by pumping and not to seek
the harbor—that is the metaphor for having faith. [BN,2]
