The book of Jonah is one of the most incredible books in the Bible. It is filled with mystery and intrigue. And yet it is a book that has taken a great deal of abuse. Perhaps no other book in the Bible has suffered at the hands of critics like Jonah has. Why has this happened? Simply because the events recorded in it are unfamiliar to us. There have been no recent news reports of a man being swallowed by a whale and living to tell about it.
But how about those who lived closer to Jonah's day? Did they believe that Jonah was an actual historical figure and that his story as portrayed in the Old Testament was accurate? And would we not grant more credibility to them to modern skeptics? The answer is yes on both counts.
This Sunday we will be starting our new series on Jonah - What Happens when We Get on the Wrong Boat.

James 4:14 says "For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanisheth away." Our life is very short and we have the choice to waste it or invest it for Christ. Though life is brief, it can be significant! The danger we face is that of wasting our life selfishly and sinfully, but God's purpose for our life is to acknowledge and accomplish His "good, acceptable, and perfect will" (Romans 12:2). This Sunday we will examine the full significance of what God says about Christianity and our life.
