Return To God With All Your Heart Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 14, 2020

We see the longing of God's heart for His people to return to Him. They were not bringing in the tithes and offerings because their hearts have strayed from God. It is a problem of the heart.

God is being patient and merciful, not wanting anyone to perish under His judgement (cf. 2 Pet 3:9). • He will come as a refiner’s fire, not to burn and destroy His ...read more
