Just
as the days in which Hosea lived...The
world in which we live is filled with
countless voices, all vying for our
attention and affection. Sin
in the life of a Christian is due to
ignoring and/or ignorance of the Word of
God. The temptation to sin is rooted in
a subtle message that flames a desire to
be amused and/or to build one's
self-esteem. This is a tragic mistake,
because our fleshly desires are simply
not trustworthy. Our own understanding
will ebb and flow, but the Word of God
is forever unchanging and therefore
continually reliable. This will be
demonstrated throughout the Book Of
Hosea.
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
