The Story Of Jonah - A Tragic Hero With A Fatal Flaw Series

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Aug 6, 2001

The story of Jonah is a satiric masterpiece. The book of Jonah is unique in that it humorously recounts the adventures of a prophet who struggled against his divine commission. This really is a handbook on how not to be a prophet.

Celebrity itself is indifferent to moral character," he adds. One can be ...read more

Who Do You Trust?

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025

We live in a broken world. What can we do about it? We could anxiously obsess over all the turmoil and moral decay, or rest in God. Worry is fretting over things we can’t control. Prayer is taking our concerns to the One who can change things. God is in control, even when the world seems out ...read more
