    The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.

    In Psalm 8 King David speaks of looking at everything God has created, in the heavens, in the sky and on the Earth. David is amazed that in all of this vast creation of everything we can see, and everything we can’t, God cares about individual people.

God, is the Creator, He exists, He is not a product of man’s imagination, He is real, He is the basis ...read more
