BIBLE TEXT: “Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.” (Jonah 1:11-12 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: The only hope for a storm-tossed ship caught in a tempest over some sin on board is to throw the sin overboard.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: As Israel learned with Achan, and the mariners learned with Jonah, as long as there is sin in the camp or on deck, the soldiers will be defeated and the sailors drowned. The only remedy for defeat or rescue from drowning is to rid the camp or ship of the sin. (Joshua 7:1-26)
