    Procrastination is something that many of us struggle with. There’s something in your life you know you need to do, and yet you keep putting it off. That is called procrastination. Procrastination is a spiritual issue. The Bible says that procrastination

    Purging Procrastination Jonah 1:1-5, 17 A recent survey of Americans found that only 10% of Americans say they struggle with procrastination. Right!

    Jonah makes a plea, Take me up....get me out of here, his solution to the terrible mess he made. This is true for today’s throwaway society. Yet, Jesus prayed similarly, "Take me up,", but He pled for our forgivness as He offered Himself.

    New Year's Day 1989: Jonah, running from his responsibility, fell asleep. It might have been the sleep of a rationalized conscience; or depression. But a greater than Jonah is here, Christ, who can heal both conscience and soul.

    It's not easy to stay out of the storms, no matter what escape you plan. It's just not easy to keep from getting rained on and buffeted around when the storm is coming, no matter what means you use to take shelter.

    Jonah Paid The Price Series

     | 5,574 views

    God had instructed Jonah, God had spoken to Jonah, I believe to go to a certain place to preach the gospel, but the bible say’s that Jonah turned to a different direction in order to disobey or runaway from God.

    I believe he hadn’t read the scripture written by David, it says: even if I make my bed in Hell, thou are there “AMEN”. I have come to realize in life that no one can hide from God, if God doesn’t speak to you now, it doesn’t mean that you have succeeded in hiding ...read more

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

    Disobedience is one of the things that seem to hold us down. And when I think about it I wonder what God says about obedience. 1 Samuel 15:22 reads: ‘But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord?

    Why Would God Stoop To Reveal His Will Through Dice Tossed By Pagan Sailors Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 27, 2013
     | 3,643 views

    God reveals Jonah's guilt through dice tossed by pagan sailors. It's so undignified. Why would God stoop to reveal His will in such a way?

We’ve got these sailors (whom we can safely presume were not having Sunday School on the ship) rolling dice and ...read more

     | 5,088 views

    A look at how we only let God into certain parts of our lives when He needs to be "Lord of all" in our lives.

    WHY WEREN'T THE SAILORS BOTHERED EARLIER? Because they believed in small, provincial gods. - Jonah 1:7, 10. - One of the unusual things about this verse is that it tells in verse 10 that Jonah had told them previously that he was running away from God.
