Picture from cover of Today in the Word
This Month's Intro - August
God's Word reveals love—unfathomable, unbreakable love of God for His people. Love to the point of . . . death. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.” This love brought life, redemption, and forgiveness of sins. But His forgiveness doesn't excuse our failure, and God's holy love means there are consequences for our unfaithfulness.

The book of Hosea is an indictment against the wickedness of Israel, and it stands as a timely warning for believers today. It contains the strange account of Hosea, a prophet who married a prostitute according to God's command. He remained committed to his wife but chastised her infidelity as well as the wayward lifestyle of the divided kingdom of Israel.

As you study Hosea with Today in the Word this month, you'll see how a lazy faith leads to spiritual attrition. You'll also see the disastrous effects that come from allowing the ways of the world to permeate the lives of God's people. We worship a forgiving God—may we honor His love by remaining faithful to His Word! Thank you for joining in another month of study and for continually supporting the ministry of Today in the Word.

Bible iconMany children have made the mistake of thinking a dandelion is a flower. Kids love the bright yellow petals. They love it even more when the head becomes white and fluffy. They have great fun blowing petals across the yard as their parents cringe at the thought of hundreds more dandelions springing up!
