The Christian life provides many opportunities for service. It may be as “modest” as teaching a Sunday School class and changing forever the life of a student. It may be by bringing a casserole to a sick neighbor and altering forever the way they perceive someone who...
Introduction Jonah has been called the wayward prophet. I would like to suggest that he is a prophet with an attitude! God gave him a clear command to do something and he did the exact opposite. Yet after chastening him, God, in grace and mercy, gave him a second chance. With that second chance, He […]
