I’m thankful to be in the fellowship of brothers and sisters in Christ.
Tonight’s scriptural text will come from .
A guy comes over his buddy’s house to roll out.
While buddy was getting changed, the guy sits on the couch near where his buddy’s grandmother appeared to be sleeping.
While sitting there, he sees this plate of peanuts and begins eating them.
He starts thinking “these are the best peanuts I’ve ever had!”
It gets so good to him, he begins tossing them in the air and catching them in his mouth.
He gets a bit carried away and one misses, bounces off his face and hits grandma.
When she wakes up, he shamefully apologizes for hitting her and eating all the peanuts, but then lauds them as the best he’s ever had.
He asks, “where did you get these?
I have to get some more.”
Grandma turns red, and bashfully said, “baby, I’m not sure how to tell you this.
But I really like chocolate.
But when I don’t have my teeth in, I suck on the chocolate and spit the peanuts out.”
There was a crisis of identity!
He was eating something different than what he thought it was.
This is the condition of the world we live in today.
There are a lot of people walking around calling themselves Christians with eternal addresses in a place called hell.
A Pew study found that 75% of Americans identify themselves as Christian.
I think about how divisive things are even in our country, and wonder “how could that even be?”
I scroll through social media pages and see the vitriol spewed at one another and know that this isn’t what God wanted from us.
What’s worse, is that often times, I can’t tell the believers from the nonbelievers!
Before I get there, when I listen to the words of the song that was just played, I can’t help but think about the condition of the world we live in today.
I think about how divisive things are even in our country, and wonder “will we ever come together?”
I scroll through social media pages and see the vitriol spewed at one another and know that this isn’t what God wanted from us.
What’s worse, is that often times, I can’t tell the believers from the nonbelievers!
A little earlier, it said:
Bottom line: those that spew hatred and divisiveness are rooted in hatred and divisiveness.
When we talk about their fruits, what do we mean?
Galatians 5:22
Let’s focus on this love thing:
Ephesians
1 Corinthians 13:
The greatest example of this love is that of our God.
Now, we can read the topical text:
Hosea 3:
Hold up! Go and love again, a woman who’s adulteress?
God’s tripping!
First of all, doesn’t he grant divorce in the case of adultery?
Exactly, so what God is advocating for is a certain amount of grace to be extended to someone that’s wronged this man.
Let’s give you a little backdrop.
First, God tells Hosea to marry a prostitute back in chapter 1, verse 2.
Hosea 1:
Back in around 931, BC, due to Solomon’s sin, God divided Israel into two parts after Solomon died: the northern kingdom of Israel and southern kingdom of Judah.
From that time until 400 BC, the prophets continued to call on Israel and Judah to return to God.
But most of them trusted the surrounding nations and their false gods.
Hosea picks up between 766-722 BC.
After King Jeroboam II died, the next three decades saw six different kings sit on Israel’s throne.
Only one died from natural causes; four were assassinated, and hostile outside nations were threatening to destroy the nation.
It was at this time the northern kingdom turned even more forcefully to pagan gods, grasping at any straw that might save them from destruction.
They continued to turn FROM God.
This is why God told him to marry the prostitute.
