Carry Me Back To Old

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 18, 2003

I’m telling you about it, because, if we do not take some protective efforts, it will become ...read more

My Home In God's Heart

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2008

Dramatic monologue as if Hosea were speaking; his mixed feelings of anger and compassion toward Gomer become the clue for understanding God’s feelings about Israel.

It had been a hard day in the fields. The sun had beat down without mercy on my back. Twice or three times, my team of oxen had stumbled and I had had to stop and help them up out of the miry clay, lest they break their legs and be useless.

Satan's War Against God's Followers Series

Contributed by David Scudder on Mar 8, 2009
