There are over 120,000 living in spiritual darkness. Washington County? Perhaps. But directly I speak from the words written in Jonah. You know this familiar tale and probably have watched the Veggie Tale movie...which is quite good! But read Jonah's anger towards God in ch3. He is mad at God for showing love and compassion. A very strange thing to be mad about. If there were more love in the world, we think it could be a better place. But God is showing love and mercy to Israel's enemy....Assyria! How would we feel about God showing grace to our enemies? Slighted? Unfair! After all, we love God more than they! We live by His law! We worship Him. But is not God's love for all? Did Jesus command we spread the Gospel to all the ends of the earth? Do we even deserve mercy?
