Hosea

In the eyes of Israel, you really couldn't get worse than Gomer. And yet, God sent his bridegroom to save her anyway. That's a deeper love that as humans we can't really understand, but it is how much God loves us.

God's Tears

The book of Hosea is one of the best love stories ever written. It is heartbreaking and moving and instructive.

What is the proper response to God's love? What affect does our response have on Him?

Trust and obey is truly the way to blessing, happiness, and freedom.

Authors David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons argue that America's religious right has damaged Christianity's image and created misconceptions about what it means to be a Christian.

Because the words I love you can be twisted in so many ways by people to mean so much or absolutely nothing, it's easy to understand why we might not fully grasp what it means when God tells us He loves us.

An article that discusses the idea of God having a personal name that we might not know because as yet we have not created a personal enough relationship with him for him to tell us it as yet.

God loves us even though we are very unloveable.

This article shares information about the latest winner of Bravo TV's hit series "Top Chef."

Tonight either Carla, Hosea or Stefan will be winning Top Chef 5 New York. It's kind of strange that the final three are in New Orleans to win a season in New York but that's just me complaining.

Tonight Top Chef began its two part finale in New Orleans where next week either Stefan, Fabio, Hosea or Carla will become the next Top Chef. After a few months/weeks being off the show all four met back up looking a bit different.

On the previous Top Chef Leah stayed while Jamie packed her knives. She killed her celery and that's the only reason she went while Leah stayed without any thought of sending her home for quitting, twice!

On the last Top Chef 5 Jeff, and sadly not Leah, went home. He got beat by an All Star in his pair off which sent him up against the best in the bottom three and ultimately sent him home.

On the last Top Chef New York a new judge was brought into the mix while two chefs were sent home: Chine and Melissa. The morning after it was time for the next Quick Fire challenge with season three winner Hung as the guest judge.

Only those who truly know the Lord, who are possessed with His Spirit, who have found God The Father to be Merciful and Gracious can understand the true "spirit of Christmas"

Last weeks Top Chef lacked a prominent guest chef. Luckily they made up for it this week by pulling out the big guns in Martha Stewart. Of course she isn't really thought of as a "chef" but hey she's probably the biggest star they'll have on all season.

Hosea was man of loyalty, who was willing to follow God even when much was required of him. His ministry was underscored by his passion for Israel, and his desire that they repent and turn to God.

How worship is first presented in the Bible and how we look at it today, from a Reformed (Presbyterian) Christian point of view.

A covenant had been made, and God had been faithful. His love was steadfast, and his commitment unbroken. But Israel, like Gomer, went on "vacation", ignored God's love and instead turned to false gods.

A Biblical definition and analysis of worship.

When God says it. He means it. The Bible is not just spiritual; it has practical applications for your life today.

Considering the message of Hosea 4

In this series, I promise to give a thorough description of each book in the Bible in 10 sentences or less (as thorough a description as you can fit into 10 sentences-and yes I've stuffed some of the sentences until they screamed in agony, "Please, no more!")

Biblical research paper (theology) on God's ministry through the Old Testament prophet, Hosea. Hosea prophesied during the exile of Israel's Northern Kingdom, warning the southern kingdom of Judah to remain faithful.

The Bible commands Christians to be worshippers in Spirit and in truth. This essay breaks down what that actually means in a worship service, as well as in our hearts.

This is a brief description of Islam and Christian theology and includes discussion about how the two religions have interacted throughout history.

What Christians are saying that we would rather hear from someone else

Thirsting is not what you probably think.

Has the modern church killed God all over again? Do we need all of the senseless (or sensual) music and emotional facades? A passionate article written to stimulate a rethinking of Christ.

My journey to becoming a christian was difficult for me, because I am a strong believer in science, and I disagree with many of the viewpoints of the typical religious right. Despite this, through fellowship, and friends, I have found Christ.
