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.

Grace to You Blog Series – “Personal Evangelism” – 01/30/2025

It continues to amaze how many “Christians” believe their mission in personal evangelism is to save souls. Really, I thought that was the job of the Triune God? We are called (everyone) in the Great Commission) to go out and teach (KJV) or make disciples, as most modern translations of Matthew 28:18-20 have it. I … More Grace to You Blog Series – “Personal Evangelism” – 01/30/2025

Devotional Thought – “Foundations” – 01/28/2025

Today’s Devotion will be slightly different. In today’s in-depth study portion, I will not focus on a specific text but on the concept of a biblical foundation. Most people would say that the Bible or Christ is their foundation in theological circles. While I agree that Christ the Bible says He is more than a … More Devotional Thought – “Foundations” – 01/28/2025

Devotional Thought – “The Visible God” – 12/27/2024

The title of this devotional is “The Visible God,” but the image above (from the Hymn we all sing) claims God is invisible. Are we quoting the Bible wrong? Have we found a contradiction in it? Or maybe our Theology is weak? Actually, none of the above, as our devotional will note God in His … More Devotional Thought – “The Visible God” – 12/27/2024

Sunday Sermon Series – “Faith Alone” – 12/08/2024

Yes, posted a day late due to sketchy internet, Mia Coppa. I recently read an article that said statements like this confuse one’s perspective on Salvation. Really?
