Hosea 10:12 Hosea 10 COMMENT and CONTEX I had a completely different devotion planned for today (likely tomorrow) until I read this one this morning.

1 John 4 1 John 4:10 I am reasonably sure that everyone reading this has heard some cynic say something like, “If your God is so loving, how can they allow _____________?” You can fill in the blanks with words like suffering, disasters, etc. I felt uncomfortable answering those questions for a long time until … More Devotional Thought – “God’s Love” – 02/18/2025
