‘Every ten years you have to remake everything.’ Reshape yourself. Reorient yourself. Remake everything… Sometimes the reshaping is not big, not audible; not a move, a marriage, a child, a heroic change of course. Sometimes it is only here inside, how you make sense of things. Sometimes it is only about who you know yourself to be.
Your calling before God is not to a spectacular ministry, but to a faithful and sincere heart.
The Hosea Love Story: Part One
by IBCvoice
The Covenant Love of God (Hosea 1 - 2:1)
In this modern day telling of the book of Hosea, Hosea has entered into a covenant with Gomer just as God has entered into a covenant with his people, us. We have not merely broken God’s law; we have broken God’s heart. We have grieved him. Despite all our spiritual adultery, we cannot exhaust the love of God and we deserve to be shown “No Mercy” and called “Not My People”, but because Jesus was shown no mercy and was forsaken by the Father, we can rest secure in God’s love for us. There is nothing in us that can evoke the love of God, and there is nothing in us that can exhaust the love of God.
Join us at Irving Bible Church throughout the Season of Lent, (or here on youtube), as we unpack the story of Hosea and learn of the love that although undeserved, sets us free. Each Sunday we will release the next video in this six part series, we hope it finds you drawn into the story of Hosea and into the story of God. http://www.irvingbible.org/
You are working in our waiting
Sanctifying us
When beyond our understanding
You’re teaching us to trust
Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You’re with us in the fire and the flood
Faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
Not So Long Ago
Nick Flora
I wrote this song in one sitting on Jan 16th in about 20 minutes. An elderly family friend had just passed away after spending a couple years in a nursing home. With my 30th birthday fast approaching, and all the thoughts that come along with that, I was imagining that those “I can’t believe I’m old” thoughts ever really go away. So I put myself in the mind of an elderly gentlemen in a nursing home and it just hits him where he is and how much time has passed.

This is never about saving ourselves through works, but it is ALWAYS about being thankful for the Spirit’s presence in our lives & being faithful in the ways that God calls us to participate in His Kingdom.
