Here’s a three-part article series on the Book of Jonah that has been completed on this site.

• Part 1 – Finding the Courage to Preach the Word of God: Jonah and God’s Call To Prophesy
  • Here I discuss the courage that one needs to show deeply-lost idolaters that their state-worshiping is evil and brings on great destruction, a duty which Jonah was running from.

• Part 2 – Should We Hope For Repentance or Destruction? Another Lesson From Jonah
  • Here I discuss why we should always prefer that men repent, rather than be destroyed, even when societies (like ours) are deserving of the latter. And how we should never forget God’s work, despite our rightful despise of these evil systems that stand before us, and fail (as Jonah did) to share God’s message of mercy with people we dislike.

• Part 3 – Learning From God’s Mercy: Finding Hope and Patience in a Statist Society of Wicked Men and Fools
  • This article goes further than the last in emphasizing God’s mercy, His willingness to relent from bringing disaster upon a penitent people, especially those who (like our people) are almost wholly unaware of the evils of statism that they have taken part in promoting and furthering.
