How does Hosea apply to an unrepentant world today? First, do you know who Hosea is? He’s an Old Testament prophet, sent by God to give a warning to His people. Sadly, things haven’t changed all that much. The message is all too relevant, even here in the year 2023. Almost 2,800 years later.
Some people ask, “How do we know the Bible is true?” Some Christians will say, “Of course it is”. But hey – that’s not really an acceptable answer for someone who’s asking, “Is the Bible true?”, is it? My first thought after hearing that is, “Do you want to believe the Bible is true?”

What should happen to undocumented people / illegal aliens? That’s a difficult question, isn’t it? Or is it? For some, maybe many, it’s not hard at all. You know exactly what should happen. You think.
Psalm 29 says Praise The Lord For His Glory And Strength. Is that what we think of? Or do we think first of the things God did for us? Or what God’s going to do for us?
Do judging Christians make you want to avoid church? There’s a time for Christians to judge. Judge each other, that is. Even a way. And guess what? When it’s not right, it can be extremely not right.
What’s The Significance Of Yeast In The Bible? Sometimes the Bible uses yeast for exactly what it is. It makes baked goods, like bread, rise. But sometimes we read about old yeast. There are implications of good yeast and bad yeast, But what if you don’t really know much, if anything, about yeast?
