    Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 9 – Judah The Harlot Blinded By Sin Polluted The Land Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024
     | 921 views

    I think the worse a man or woman is joined to sin, then the greater the blurriness of that person’s position becomes. Sin is the cancer that overtakes the ability to repent. Judah was so idolatrous; it craved after spiritual adultery with all the gods of the nations. Interesting Hosea.

    Lessons from the life of Hosea. God’s love is beyond reason, inescapable and tough.

    As I thought about the messed-up life of Hosea this week, I logged onto the Jerry Springer web site to check out the kind of topics he had been wallowing in lately. Some of the program titles read like this one on August 28: “Surprise, I’m Cheating.” The caption describes the show this way: ...read more

    Unfaithfulness among Christians has led many in and out of the church to lose power for living. Yet God turns tragedy into triumph.

    The First Product of Unfaithfulness: Impotence Hosea 1:1-5, 11; 1 Kings 9-10 Pastor Jim Luthy Dan and I drove through downtown Vancouver B.C. a couple of weeks ago after a worship session on a Friday night.

    Why on earth would God have Hosea marry a prostitute? Was it merely a parable or a dream we're being told about? Or was this a real life harlot who God used for a lesson for Israel?

    In 1990, there was a romantic comedy that hit big screen called “Pretty Woman”. It was marketed as a modern update of the story of Cinderella. Richard Gere played an unscrupulous businessman who was on a business trip and - on a lark - he picks up a hooker – played by Julia Roberts. As the ...read more

    To come back to the Lord and restore your relationship with Him, recognize God’s unfailing love for you, repent of your unfaithfulness to Him, and return to your faithful Lord.

    American philosopher and educator, Dr. Mortimer Adler, once suddenly left a discussion group quite disgusted. He slammed the door behind him. One person, trying to relieve the tension, remarked, “Well, he's gone.” The hostess replied, “No, he isn't. That's a closet!” (Myron S. ...read more

    God loves us even though we mess around with other gods. It’s the message of love and forgiveness God taught Israel through the marriage of Hosea and Gomer.

    2The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD. 3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim.

    This is the first of a two part message concerning the message of the book of Hosea. This deals with the marriage between Hosea and Gomer and how it parallels God’s relationship with Israel and in fact, all Christian believers.

    To begin a study on Hosea, we must first understand the meaning of the word “minor prophet” which is how Hosea was classified. A minor prophet was only assigned that classification based on the length of his book. It had nothing to do with the weight of his message or the length of time that he ...read more
