The Path of Spiritual Adultery
Spiritual Idolatry and Adultery I read through Hosea for my personal devotions. There’s so much there when you really look at the life of Hosea, think of how he felt, and see how it fits into Bible Prophecy. Here, we see that Israel, like Gomer, had played the harlot. As a nation they abandoned God.… Continue reading The Path of Spiritual Adultery
The Culture of #hotmess

They would be carried away captive to a foreign land. But in this verse, they were sacrificing their children by fire to a false god. Maybe you… Continue reading What Do You Worship?
Taking God’s Name in Vain
What does this really mean? First, we must know what vain means. Google says, “the quality of being worthless or futile.” To use God’s name in a way that is pointless, worthless, or incapable of producing any useful results.

Surviving or Thriving?
I saw a sticker recently that said #survivingmotherhood I get it. Some days are hard. Being a mother is a full-time job. There are challenges nearly every day.
