The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah give us reason to put great hope in God and His salvation even in the midst of the judgment we have coming to us.

Was Jesus not aware that all the earth might include places people would not be able to freely witness? Oh, He was not only aware, but warned us, warned us with the challenge to press on not afraid of what may happen but ready to embrace the reward if it does.

We are in a series this whole year where in 42 messages we are going to walk through the whole Bible. Today that has us in Hosea. Hosea’s message, how God is going to use Hosea is very centered around being a husband and father, using those positions to show the faithful love of God. So, I think we can get a challenge for husbands and dads, as well as continue in our study.

People every day fall in love with people they know are not good for them, but they’re in love. Evaluate first, then fall in love. The Bible commands a believer not marry an unbeliever. I have watched more times than I can count a believer fall in love with an unbeliever and then try to figure out how to obey the Lord, and they won’t, almost never. It’s a tricky thing to have heart for the Lord when our heart is going away from Him.

What is one of the biggest things you have ever done for the Lord? What is a big God-achievement in your life? We always want to guard against pride, but it feels good to commit to do something for the Lord, to build, to go, to minister and see it completed. And I am intrigued by Solomon’s focus in the finish. When we finish something it is natural to think, I am finished. There may be something to celebrate, but we are not finished.
