It is this godly love that is established throughout the collection of writings from Hosea. As with a number of key […]
Read More MWTM: Hosea Part 1 – The FaithlessThis man had a dream and in that dream he was approached by God. God spoke to him and offered him the opportunity to ask for anything and it would be granted to him. If that was offered to you, how would you respond?

Read More What Would You Ask?It makes some scratch their heads in bewilderment. It was clear, as long as he didn’t tell anyone where his strength came from, he’d be fine. He got into a relationship and his girl wanted to know and after he teased her for a while and she wore him down with nagging, he gave up […]
Read More What Did You Expect?There is urgency, but there’s no rush. It’s important and exactly because it’s important this is why hurrying on the matter would be counterproductive. Often it doesn’t seem as though anything is happening and when that is the case over a period of time the feeling of frustration can settle in. Then that frustration can […]

Read More That’s FreshFebruary is a notorious month for how quickly it leaves. I say notorious, there’s something about leaving February that lets me know in no uncertain terms that this year is in full swing. It’s remarkable really. This month has flown by with indecent haste.

Read More In Agreement – A March Dryden UpdateSo the other day I celebrated my birthday. To be fair, it was the longest birthday of my life.
