    Discusses the spiritual battles within depth, with Christian insight and scriptures.

    Disobedience is one of the things that seem to hold us down.

To obey is ...read more

    We as God’s missionaries He wants us to go where God is neglected and our part as His mouthpiece is to introduce Him as God.

    Saying no to God was the start of a donward descent by the Prophet Jonah. God had called him for one specific place-but he said no and ran from God. He is typical of many who do likewise and as Jonah, all rebelious people pay a heavy price for their stubb

    Jonah 1:3 and 4 present quite a contrast. In Verse three it is all "man" man flees from God, man sails the ship, man has no place for God. In verse four, the table is turned and it is all God. God seeks man; He sends the storm; and, in the end-God wins.

It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. 30 "For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will ...read more
