Angry Enough to Die
Tim Keller | September 9, 1990
Overview
How can we explain Jonah’s mood swings, his tremendous emotional instability, how he’s able to praise God and just a few days later say he’s angry enough to die? The answer is a divided heart.
To put it another way, Jonah believed in and served the true God, but he also believed and served a rival god. As a result, his heart was divided. And divided hearts create the kind of misery and drive we see in Jonah. So we must ask, is it possible that our own instabilities are due to a divided heart?
Let’s ask two questions of this text: 1) what is a divided heart? and 2) how do we solve it?
