“‘Surely as a woman treacherously departs from her lover, so you have dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel,’ declares the Lord” (Jeremiah 3:20). Many people attend Church and take Christ’s name as there own—they go through the motions and may even...
Our Memory Verse for this week comes from Jeremiah 3, where God compares Israel to an unfaithful partner because of its idolatry. God uses the image of marriage throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament to describe how He sees His relationship with Israel and the Church...
