Although Israel made a covenant with the one true God, she sought after other false gods. In the same way Hosea married Gomer knowing a haed of time she would leave him. Hosea ...read more

    Because Jesus understands our suffering, we do not suffer alone.

    INTRODUCTION If I were writing the Bible, I probably would have left this passage out.

    We are born into the kingdom or God, and like babies in the natural our Father God expects us to grow up.
