Advent Continues -The Inescapable Love Of God, Lighting The Candle Of Love! Series

Unrequited Love

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 28, 2023

Why doesn't God divorce his unfaithful people? We would, in his place.

Hosea must have been crazy. God told him to marry a prostitute named Gomer, and so he did. Now, stories of reformed prostitutes who settle down and become good wives and mothers are a staple of romantic fiction. How many of you have seen Pretty Woman, starring Richard Gere as the rich man who falls ...read more

These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this ...read more

The Compassion Of God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 21, 2022

There is a difference between compassion and concern. If a man falls off an ocean liner, we will show concern by yelling man overboard and look for help. Compassion would be at the risk of our own life; we jump in and rescue the drowning man. Compassion is much deeper than concern. In Hosea 11 we ...read more
