When is a people so overgrown with dross as that it is necessary the good and the bad should go into the same furnace? I shall name but two plain things:-- 1. When the generality of a people are openly wicked and profane. You will see in the following verses of this chapter the reason given why God will put them all into the furnace. And why is it? Because the prophets were wicked, and the priests were wicked, and the princes were wicked, and the people were wicked.

Only around 10-12% of people polled in a "General Social Survey" by scientists at the U. of Chicago described themselves as "very happy".

Last Sunday I spoke to you about the fact that the apostle Paul was bound with a chain for the Hope of Israel. Paul's ministry, whether it was to Jews or Gentiles, was concerning Jesus; Who was, and Who is, the Hope of Israel. He is both the Hope of the spiritual Israel of God, and the Hope of physical ethnic Israel who has never been cast off by God, even though in large measure they rejected Christ as their Messiah when He came to them. And they have still, for the most part, continued to reject Him all the way down through Church history until this very day. In this chapter Paul spoke with the Jews of Rome, when they came to meet with him. He spoke to them from morning till evening, it says in verse 23. Paul's great concern was to preach the kingdom of God and teach the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, and to do so with all confidence. This goal was accomplished with these Jews, even though they were so divided among themselves as to whether what Paul said was true. So, here in this message I want to delve into Paul's final written recorded message to them, and have us understand just how Paul ministered to people in this last stage of his ministry.

At the turn of each year, God, in his providence offers the opportunity to reflect upon the year that has passed in anticipation of the year that is ahead.

November 22nd has been declared, "Inter-National Chick Tract Day" and "National Chick Tract Day" by those seeking to show mockery and disrespect, although some claim it's all in good, clean fun.

In Chapter 4 of his prophetic work, Hosea shifts his focus entirely from the unhappy marriage between Hosea and Gomer, to zeroing in on the relationship between God and Israel. Beginning in Chapter 4, the scene shifts from Hosea's home, to God's courts of justice, with the language becoming unmistakably judicial, as the Lord lays out (as though in a court of law) his many charges against His faithless people, Israel. In this sermon, "The Lord States His Case," Pastor Jesse Randolph provides a verse-by-verse exposition of the legal charges God levels against Israel in Hosea 4:1-19—which includes charges related to a careless people, corrupt priests, and compromised priorities.
