Not long after that, the younger Son got together all he had, set off for a distant country....” The “distant Country”. The young man ...read more

    With Jonah’s new purpose he is about to be used mightily. Do you desire to be used by God, but feel trapped in circumstances?

    We are looking at Jonah’s prayer as he prayed to God from an unlikely place, the stomach of a fish. To pray we must have faith in God. Sometimes we say there are no atheists in foxholes. Now we find out from Jonah that there are no atheists in fish bellies. Can you imagine what it would be like ...read more
