Question
Hi
I was wondering if you could explain or find out what the book of Jonah in the Old Testament means (specifically the first chapter). I was also pondering about how the first chapter affects us in today's society. I have to give a scripture seminar on this chapter and I was wondering if you had any ideas for the first chapter!
Thanks for the help!
I am sorry for the delay... we had a death in the church and I did not get to my questions like I should have. Jonah is about a man who was called by God to reach a city...and he ran from God's calling. God chased him until he broke down and submitted to His will. If you wish for a more in depth explanation, please let me know. Once again, I am so sorry for the delay.
In Christ,
Pastor Don

Expertise
I believe that every word of the Bible is God-Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a litteral, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time.
Experience
I have been in the ministry for almosat 20 years. During this time I served as youth pastor, assistant pastor, counselor, and Senior Pastor. Currently I serve as a Senior Pastor for an independent fundamental Baptist Church in New England.
