It's our body's way of considering a threatening smell non-threatening, and thus telling our brains to forget it. False teaching creeps in that way, and what happens when false teachings have persisted subtly for generations so much so our spiritual noses have developed its own nose blindness to it?

What’s that? You still believe that, Pastor? That there will be a judgment? A day of reckoning?” The people of Nineveh, firstly unaware of Yahweh, believe this man Jonah upon his entrance! We are, of course, materialists. That is, we tend to believe what we subjectively see, what can be detected with our five senses… So maybe it was easier and more in common for these ancient people to believe, interact and worship gods and spirits of all kinds. Perhaps they were more quick to believe Jonah about this God and His threat of punishment. But IT IS as Jesus called His own hearers out in Israel hundreds of years after Jonah: “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign…" “You expect us to believe that You, flesh. Blood. Homely. Before our eyes… is all powerful? Has authority? Has bearing on our lives? Prove it!” They demanded a sign “but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” “Punishment? What’s that?

I don’t have to answer to God, so.” Yeah, now. And if He isn’t sending a fish after you that isn’t lucky-you. You’re missing out on so much more if He’s not reeling you in anyways. It’s telling God no to adventure. It’s telling God no to something both hard, and so totally worth it when you’re in the center of God’s will, plan and purposes. It’s telling God no to the fullness of joy. Listen: you can be in the most comfortable, lively, vibrant, distracting place ever with a million things at your fingertips, and inside you’ll still hear the screaming about the void in your life. Because you’ve maybe gone down, down, down to Joppa so as to go to Tarshish, instead of choosing Nineveh. And no matter how inviting Tarshish seems or how ominous Nineveh is, God has ways of making Nineveh your joy anyways, right? Is disobedience worth it? “Well.

Because as we compare these very similar storms in the Bible, we get a glimpse of the Gospel actually. Jonah says his life is required to calm the storm. For the storm to be calmed in Jesus’ story? His Word was all that’s required. And in Paul’s storm? It requires faith. “Believe me, God said I and the entire boat will be saved. Just the boat will be lost.” Life was required.

In other words there’s still a passion. He’s not lazy. He’s not indecisive or struggling with unbelief. It’s simply that he’s adamantly against what God wants him to do. And while he’s not willing to travel 550 miles to a city, rather he’d board a ship and sail 2500 miles away from everything and everyone he’s ever known to just disappear. All because God has told him to arise, and I don’t know about you, but unlike me, Jonah is at least rising, right? Jonah is not lukewarm. In other words there’s still a passion. He’s not lazy.

About all we can do is throw it under "Paul's authorship," but otherwise it's hard to throw it in categories. The fact that it's a rather personal letter that made it to the rest of the canon might make us wonder the Holy Spirit's intentions in its eternal awareness. But we find it takes an overwhelming theme of the Bible and applies it to its very literal reality. Philemon is hard to categorize.

Or, another definition states that integrity is “the quality or state of being complete or undivided.” I like that. When you or I act one way here, and another way there, that is divided. The Priests of Malachi were divided, claiming to be descendants of the likes of the Levites who cleansed Israel with Moses, or Phinehas, but acting in the present, less than that.

One humbly pursues God, the other blindly serves the devil! One’s headed for darkness, the other’s pursuing light! One seeks to be Godly, the other unapologetically does evil? For the true-hearted Christian, following Christ and the Scriptures, a believer should be a self-denying, Christ-exalting, disciple-making, God-glorifying, righteousness-hungering, mission-pursuing follower of God, and that should occupy his or her time. And what would that person have in common with a self-indulging, Satan-admiring, evildoer-applauding, God-offending, passions-pursuing, lost person? They’re heading in opposite directions!

We don’t need physical, visible, tangible symbols, signs, or people in leadership. There needs to be no immediate substitution or representative standing in the way of Jesus. He’s our Risen, Lord and Savior. Right in our faith and practice, I’m personally glad it says under our doctrine on the Church, “Its head is Jesus Christ, who serves immediately as priest and ministers directly as teacher and prophet.” To be part of a holy nation means to not look like the rest of the world. Some nations have presidents, some have prime ministers, some have kings, some tribes had chiefs, some religious organizations spiritual high offices, the holy nation of the Kingdom of God doesn’t look like the rest of the world. You can call the President or write a letter, but we pray immediately to our Leader, though He can’t be reached by phone or e-mail. You can bet the president or any leader of any nation or organized church sleeps at times, is capable of sin, or can’t be attend to every need, but our holy nation knows a Sovereign who is ever-present, never sleeps, and is entirely pure. We’re a holy nation. A set apart nation. You and I are part of a holy nation. We don’t need physical, visible, tangible symbols, signs, or people in leadership.

What about the Old Testament strong injunctions to "observe the Sabbath?" It's in the Ten Commandments! Let's examine the whole counsel of God as we uncover answers to these questions... we may discover it's not a simple case of moving one date of "sacred assembly," to the next day.

Yet, we are part of the spiritual nation that this prophet Micah is writing too. We’re spiritual descendants who need the Word of God as much as Samaria and Jerusalem did. We worship the very God who spoke into human history through Micah… and the more we love and learn about our King Jesus, our God, the more I want to be aware, filled up on, and familiar with every single thing He has spoken.
