Christian Fellowship for airline staff and business travellers

An aircraft navigates to its destination by accurately following an unseen course in the sky. This course is interpreted by instruments so that pilots can fly On Course.

Similarly we are allotted a certain amount of time and space which defines our life span. We know the starting point but we don't know the end. God provides us with instruments and a manual - the Bible, to guide us on the way.

What we do with this finite resource of life is crucial. Life is a gift and we have to make account to God for the way we use it. Here are the final conclusions of a few well known men of history:

Socrates:
"All of the wisdom of this world is but a tiny raft upon which we must set sale when we leave this earth. If only there was a firmer foundation upon which to sail, perhaps some divine word".

Napoleon:
I die before my time and my body shall be given back to the earth and devoured by worms. What an abysmal gulf between my deep miseries and the eternal kingdom of Christ. I marvel that whereas the ambitions and dreams of myself and of Alexander and of Caesar should have vanished into thin air, a Judean peasant - Jesus - should be able to stretch his hands across the centuries, and control the destinies of men and nations"

Sigmund Feud:
"The meager satisfaction that man can extract from reality leaves him starving".

By way of comparison, this is what Jesus said after raising Lazarus from the dead in front of many witnesses:

"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

There is only one way God wants us to travel through life... and that is safely in Christ... both now and when our time on this earth is complete.

This way of God may be unseen, but it is as real as the invisible air-route every pilot follows. "On Course" is an instrument to navigating the waypoints of life to our final destiny with God.

We are amongst those who have been called to journey through life with this purpose: to understand and know God and walk in his ways.

On Course with God...
