After the Israelites returned from their punishment in Babylon, they were determined to serve God and God alone. But with the passage of time, they became lax in their dedication and service to Him. Malachi was commissioned as God’s prophet to call the people back into faithful service. His message still rings true in our day of half-hearted commitment to things that are holy.

George Micheal Williams delivers these lessons with the power of a seasoned gospel preacher. He was a regular contributor in our previous Blueprints for Building a Better Lifestyle series.
