A powder monkey is the lowest status you can have aboard a pirate ship. It's lower than cabin boy. A powder monkey was in charge of running powder to the cannons and the muskets. It was a dangerous job during an attack because if a spark hit your container of powder there would be a new position open on the ship.
We are all powder monkeys. We are constantly in harm's way and we handle items that could blow up in our face all the time. We need a Captain who loves us and who will oversee that we don't get too far in over our head. If you choose to have Jesus as your Captain you will have someone that will be watching out for you. I didn't say he would make you safe in this world, because life in this world is dangerous. He is there for you. When you do get too far in over your head, the Captain is waiting for you to call out his name and he will come to your aid.
You can choose many Captains to follow as for me I will choose "the way, the truth and the life."
