Forgiveness is God’s precious gift. We may at times think that we wont be forgiven, but no matter what we do He will always leave a light on and He takes us back with open arms.

Israel had vowed to give herself to God and the way they would stay true to Him was ...read more

Parable Of A Broken Covenant Series

Contributed by Wes Richard on May 13, 2009

Struggling To Know Who We Are Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 14, 2010

Like Hosea's children, we name our selves by our sad history, by our isolation, and by our alienation. But in Christ our Brother all these defects are remedied.

A good many of us, I would guess, are less than happy with our names. What Mom and Dad decided to call us before we had a voice in the matter. Well, I suspect a good many of us would like to change.
