I Would, But…Sample

It takes three days to get through Nineveh. Jonah travels one. The audacity of this chump. He’s been literally saved from the grips of death and he still can’t do all that God has asked him to do. In fact, God ends up needing to use word of mouth to get the message to the king of Nineveh.

Some of us are just unwilling to put the work in that it will require. Christianity is fine for us as long as we only need to come to church once or twice a month (or every three months). But if it’s going to take some effort, we’re out. Read some of these scriptures to learn what God says about these types of people, and seriously consider any parallels that may exist in your own life.

And no, the first verse’s irony is not lost on us either!
