It is never to late to turn back to God. This is a three part series on Jonah.

From Proud Towers To Humble Alters

Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 19, 2013

After Noah and his family began to populate the earth again, people once again left God's way and tried to do things their own way. Bad idea. God's way requires humble obedience, not proud power. Jesus told Paul,
