Redeeming Scripture Archives - Page 31 of 60

Have you ever been angry at God? Of course you have. Life has a way of crushing us all, and when that happens, we often get angry at God about it.

When you’re angry at God, what do you do? Do you try to handle it yourself? Or do you lash out at God in your anger? This study of Jonah 4:2 reveals what Jonah did, and you will find it very encouraging for your own prayer life going forward.

The Text of Jonah 4:2

He prayed to Yahweh and said, “Now Yahweh, was this not my word to You while I was in my own land? So that is why I fled to Tarshish. I know that You are a God who is gracious and compassionate, taking long to get angry, having great loyalty, and is sorry about doing evil.”

In this discussion of Jonah 4:2 we look at:

The shocking revelation that Jonah does in fact know what God is like
The five terms that Jonah uses to describe God
Why it is good and helpful to pray when we’re angry

Jonah 4:1 – Jonah Accuses God of Evil

By Jeremy Myers

1 Comment

After Nineveh experiences a city-wide revival in response to his preaching, Jonah becomes angry at God in Jonah 4:1.

What do you think about that? Have you ever thought that he should have rejoiced instead?

Well, today, we are going to look a bit more at Jonah’s response, and come to understand that Jonah’s response is actually quite normal and natural. You and I might have had a similar response. Maybe we do.

The Text of Jonah 4:1

¹This was evil to Jonah, greatly evil, and he became furious.

In this discussion of Jonah 4:1 we look at:

The response of Jonah to God’s deliverance of Nineveh
Why Jonah’s response actually makes sense to us
How Jonah’s response is similar to Cain’s

Jonah 3:10 – The Repentance of God

By Jeremy Myers

4 Comments

What is repentance? What is evil? If you think you know, here are some harder questions: Does God ever need to repent? Does God commit evil?

Well, Jonah 3:10 seems to indicate that God does commit evil and does repent of it. Yikes! What does that mean? This is what we’ll look at in today’s study.

The Text of Jonah 3:10

Jonah 3:10. And God saw what they had done, that they repented from their evil ways, and God was sorry about the evil which He had declared to do to them, and He did not do it.

In this discussion of Jonah 3:10 we look at:

What is repentance?
Does God ever repent?
What is evil?
Does God commit evil?
The sad, humorous truth about repentance from evil in Jonah 3:10

Jonah 3:9 – What is Repentance?

By Jeremy Myers

The Text of Jonah 3:9

The fact that repentance is not a condition for receiving eternal life

Jonah 3:4 – Jonah’s School of Evangelism

By Jeremy Myers

5 Comments

How do you evangelize? Do you use tracts? Invite people to church, or to an evangelism crusade? Do you use the Roman’s Road? Do you shout into a bullhorn that people are going to hell unless they repent?

In Jonah 3:4, we see how Jonah shared the message of God to the people of Nineveh. We’ll also see that his approach to evangelism left much to be desired.

The Text of Jonah 3:4

Jonah began to go into the city, walking for one day. He cried out, saying, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!”

In this discussion of Jonah 3:4 we look at:

How Jonah evangelized the city of Nineveh
Why Jonah’s obedience was … less than satisfactory
How we too can evangelize others today
