Israel was recalled to her faith by Ezekiel’s Vision of the Dry Bones, where God breathed his Spirit into lifeless forms, which came to life.

Behold What Manner Of Love Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Nov 2, 2005

God’s love is a powerful love. It’s a love that reaches out to us even while we’re being unfaithful. It’s a love that willingly pays the cost to win us back. But in the end it’s a love that must be taken up by those to whom it’s offered.

I’ve known a number of men over the years whose wives have left them. I remember one man who came home from work one day to discover his wife had had the removalists in and they’d taken everything apart from his personal belongings. I remember one man whose wife left him and his children for ...read more

Sow The Wind Reap The Whirlwind Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Nov 2, 2005

There is no faithfulness steadfast love or knowledge of God. This is the fault of poor teaching by the priests and bad leadership by the nations secular leaders. It results in false religion and false hope.

The prophecy of Hosea begins with a dramatic enactment by Hosea of the relationship between God and his people Israel. It’s a shocking revelation of the unfaithfulness of a people who should have known better, who had had every opportunity to get their act together and to worship God faithfully but ...read more

The Temple Of The Lord

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 21, 2005

Recently, I have been doing an in depth study of some of the major prophets of the Bible.

He arrived looking like a character out of a Wes Craven movie. He definitely wasn’t dressed for success and pretty wasn’t a word that would be used in describing him.
