    While Jonah the prophet of God thought of no one but himself, the mariners who were unbelievers were so concerned about him. The church needs to be filled with those who have compassion for the lost, who depend on entirely on the Lord and lead many into His Kingdom.

I know it is my fault that you are caught in this violent storm.” Instead, the sailors tried to ...read more
