The stories of Jonah and Nahum who were sent to the evil city of Nineveh. Nahum was the willing servant. Jonah was not.
What happens when we listen to God? What happens when we don't? Since the beginning, God has been speaking through various means: the common and the uncommon, the natural and the supernatural, the ordinary and the extraordinary. Some listen while others don't. Jonah didn't listen until a big fish opened its mouth. Though Jonah was stubborn, the voice of God thundered from his lips. Then there was Nahum. He was a willing preacher, but no one paid attention to him. Had they, they would have been spared. My City Was Gone invites you to walk where Jonah and Nahum walked - the wicked city of Nineveh. God still speaks from such places. Are you listening?
Excerpt
We all look pretty good comparatively. But is goodness really that subjective? Is it a personality trait that gets dosed out in varying degrees, where some hit the jackpot and others don’t? Can it be improved with experience, exercise or education? Is it subject to human potential? With respect to God, we would surely have to answer “no” to each of these questions. In His case, at least, goodness is a divine attribute, not a human one.
