Hosea's call to Israel echoes the same word God has spoken to us from the beginning. Repent. Turn back to Him. The alternatives aren't pleasant.

1. Idolatry is when we treat something that isn't God as if it is.

2. Repentance is more about who you turn to than whatever you're turning from.

3. God's discipline is preferable to being left to manage our own lives apart from Him
