Saint’s in the Hands of an Angry God
Donald Cantrell
Jonah 4: 5-11
Jonah was more concerned about the sparing of a gourd, than the sparing of a nation of 100,000’s of people. This sermon shows us the danger of having misplaced priorities and the crime of indifference pertaining to God’s plan of saving sinners. God yearned to display compassion, while Jonah had a burning to see condemnation. I got the title of this message while reading a sermon by Jerry Vines on Jonah chapter 4.
I – Jonah’s Crime of Indifference (5)
“Disgusted with God’s Plan”
II – Jonah’s Comforts of Indulgence (6)
“Delighted with God’s Plant”
III – Jonah’s Concern of Insignificance (7 – 9)
“Disturbed with God’s Providence”
IV – Jonah’s Conflict of Interest (10 – 11)
“Disinterested with God’s Pardon”
Theme: “Jonah is confronted by God and lived to tell about it!!!”
SELF-ABSORPTION
Clifton Fadiman, in The Little Brown Book of Anecdotes, tells a story about Vladimir Nabokov, the Russian-born novelist who achieved popular success with his novels Lolita (1955), Pale Fire (1962) and Ada (1969).
One summer in the 1940s, Nabokov and his family stayed with James Laughlin at Alta, Utah, where Nabokov took the opportunity to enlarge his collection of butterflies and moths. Fadiman relates: "Nabokov's fiction has never been praised for its compassion; he was single-minded if nothing else. One evening at dusk he returned from his day's excursion saying that during hot pursuit near Bear Gulch he had heard someone groaning most piteously down by the stream. "'Did you stop' Laughlin asked him. "'No, I had to get the butterfly.'" The next day the corpse of an aged prospector was discovered in what has been renamed, in Nabokov's honor, Dead Man's Gulch." While people around us are dying, how often we chase butterflies!
