“Anchor”
What is an anchor? Well
Webster says it like this:
Main Entry: 1an·chor
Pronunciation: 'a[ng]-k&r
Function: noun
Usage: often attributive
Etymology: Middle English ancre, from Old English ancor, from
Latin anchora, from Greek ankyra; akin to Old English anga
hook -- more at ANGLE
1 : a device usually of metal attached to a ship or boat by a
cable and cast overboard to hold it in a particular place by means of a fluke
that digs into the bottom
2 : a reliable or principal support : MAINSTAY
3 : something that serves to hold an object firmly
4 : an object shaped like a ship's anchor
5 : an anchorman
or anchorwoman
6 : the member of a team (as a relay team) that competes last
7 : a large business (as a department store) that attracts
customers and other businesses to a shopping center or mall
8 : a fixed object (as a tree or a piton) to which a climber's
rope is secured
They left out one, not surprising though,
Jesus Christ is also called Anchor. 19We
have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. This
is from Hebrews 6 and the section is titled “The Certainty of God’s
Promise”. Christ is our Anchor for life. He
is our Hope in victory over evil. Now from my understanding
the chain or the cable that is connected to an anchor is called a rode.
Now if we hang on to the Anchor the rode leads to God. How
can you fail knowing this? For those of you that have not
grabbed on to the Anchor as your life begins to sink what are you going to do?
This Anchor has a rode that leads to God. Or of
course you can get on satan’s road that leads to destruction.

Key Verse:
Hebrews
6:1
Therefore let us leave the elementary
teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again
the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in
God,

"Ask and it will be given
to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who
knocks, the door will be opened."
