Jonah 1: 7&8
Last time we saw how the 'pagan' captain seemed to have more faith in prayer than the sleeping Jonah.
Sometimes signs of great love and compassion can be seen within the world. It saddeneds me that we do not see more of this in the church (and in my own heart!)
Often those who don't know God embarass those of us who say we do, and faith sometimes appears in the most unusual places - such as a Roman centurion. (Matt 8:10)
Sometimes we christians give the impression that the world is a lost cause and is hopeless. However, we are ALL sinners and occasionally those who don't know the Lord shine, and some of us saints can learn from them!
Love you!

1 Corinthians 13:3-5 - Love is more important than anything... If we don't have love we are nothing. We don't always love each other to the max in church, lets make a commitment to love each other...it's by the way we love each other that people outside know that we follow Jesus.

Ruth is an amazing book, Ruth was from moab, yet she showed amazing faith and obedience like the centurian and they guy on Jonahs boat...read ruth it rocks.
