The New English Standard Version translation is founded on the belief that the words of the Bible are the very words of God.

How long has your Goliath stalked you? Invaded your first thought of the morning and last worry of the night? David knows a little something about facing giants. The shepherd boy seemingly had little to offer against the nine-foot, nine-inch Goliath. You could read his story and wonder what God saw in him.

Focus on God — your giants tumble.

Stop whoring with other gods and follow the real God of the universe. This was the basic message of Hosea to his people. He wanted to help the citizens of Israel and Judah continue a relationship with the God that lead their forefathers from the nadirs of slavery.

This unconventional marriage from the prophet was an active symbol of God’s love to people who worshiped man made idols and earthly creations. Restoring the Fallen is a Bible study on the book of Hosea to those who claim to be God’s people.

John writes to a believer named Gaius urging him to continue walking in truth and love. Along with general instruction for Church leaders, the apostle warns about those who oppose the Gospel of Jesus Christ, specifically warning Gaius about a man named Diotrephes.
