    Jonah’s disobedience brought untold troubles on all the crew aboard that ship. The church too must be wary of those who are divisive and must strive hard to maintain unity, integrity continuing in prayer and being obedient to God.

(AFV) The events that preceded this verse were that the ship on which Jonah voyaged was faced with a severe tempest. The mariners ...read more

And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. But they ...read more
