On Mission Without Mercy

What will it take for God to bring revival to our City? Not as much as we might first think. Jonah teaches us that it takes nothing more than a reluctant prophet to do what God says. No strong faith, not much maturity or heart cooperation. God can use the smallest act of cooperation. Jonah preaches a short repetitive message and the hearts of people respond. He starts on the fringe with the least likely to change: the rural farms, industry and edges of the city. God is at work in a reluctant prophet to bring change to a city and change to his man. Remarkable, God can and does perform miracles through reluctant people. Grace is always greater than sin—ours and others. Jonah 3 is a chapter of hope for all of us who long for change in our city. If we... then God. It is a simply principle and a simple pattern. Just do what God says. If we... then God. Imagine what God will do in our city, if we decide and then do what He says.
