Contributed by Matthew Black on Oct 12, 2019

Hosea 1 tells the story of how God told a prophet to marry a prostitute to show Israel her idolatry. In the symbolism of Hosea, God is the Prophet and we are the prostitute. In a very real sense, I am Gomer and so are you! We are unfaithful people who deserve God’s wrath, not his mercy.

Calling, Purpose And Destiny

Contributed by William Tan Yh on Nov 12, 2020

Have you wonder why you are alive at this time and age? What is the mission that God has for you? The Bible tells us God in Jer 29:11 that He has a plan for our lives. Therefore, we seek God persistently to help us to fulfill his plan and purpose for our lives.

One of the most inspiring story of the Bible is the story of Joseph in Genesis chapters 37 to 41.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 1, 2025

We shall not want any good thing God tells us but what does it mean? Are we looking at material or spiritual or both? Not in want of any good thing! We open up “seeking the Lord,” and “the fear of the Lord.” Never be irreverent or casual in the Lord’s presence as some do. It is disrespectful.
