Missional Lessons from the Book of Jonah

As I was reading through the book of Jonah in my devotions, the following thoughts came to me. I hope they will be helpful to others. They are not new but they confirm some key elements of God's redemptive process.
  1. God loves bad people.
  2. Judgement awaits bad people who continue in their ways.
  3. God calls and uses imperfect people to deliver his message.
  4. Share God's message openly. You never know who will respond.
  5. God has mercy on those who humble themselves.
  6. Whole cities can be impacted when the leaders humble themselves.
  7. God continues to love and teach his messengers.

Well that's it, I look forward to being one of those imperfect messengers in 2012.

Blessings to all,

John Quam

    Really great thoughts and takeaways from Jonah ... that little book with so much to say. Sorry to miss you today ... at a meeting when you called and meeting was long enough to forget you called. Just saw your blog in my feedreader ... will call you tomorrow.
