The Source of Love

God’s Fresh Start, daily.
As we come down to the end of the scripture writing series for January, I believe this is the greatest verse for us to write upon our hearts. We see this verse used all the time! We see it in cute graphics and people quote it all the time. This verse,…

Two Directions.
We make our lives complicated. This verse expresses and explains the simplicity of God. All of God’s principles and expectations are simple, but we like to “human” things up as I say. We complicate and nit pick, pick apart everything God has to say and respond… but God?!? Paul lays it out as…

Hosea was possibly one of two prophets writing from the northern tribe of Israel (Jonah was the other). Hosea was…
