This letter was composed to urge Christians to live purified lives while they await the return of ...read more

    Dancing With The Lord

    By God's grace I want to present the incident that happened between Jonah and God as a dance of two friends.

    Often, when we examine the story of Jonah's initial refusal to follow God's instruction to go and peach to the people of Nineveh, we see a disobedient and selfish servant of God. Yes, this is a fact but, be it as it may, I would like to suggest that we look deeper into the story and view it ...read more
