It’s been said that “He who cannot forgive others destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass.” Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez continues to offer principles from the Old Testament, to help strengthen our marriages. We turn our attention now to what Pastor Mike refers to as one of the worst marital situations in all the Bible. Hosea, a prophet of God, married a woman named Gomer, who brought to the relationship a shaky past to say the least. But, in spite of her character flaws, Hosea was called of God to love his wife like Christ loves the church. Well maybe your marriage isn’t what it should be today and your spouse is mistreating you! Let’s be encouraged now through the story of Hosea.
So many people are claiming opinions as their own "personal truth." This leads to conflicting narratives as they claim their version of reality is the right one. Confusion abounds even within the church. Who do you trust? What is truth?
The one thing we can rely on is God's truth. And we can be certain of the solid foundation of Scripture. Get equipped and fortify your beliefs with this essential resource.
