Hosea 5 - Pride, Punishment, Disease and the Cure by Lance Ponder(121) Majoring in the Minors | Hosea Punishment Coming Hos 5:1-2 Hear this, O priests! Pay attention, O house of Israel! Give ear, O house of the king! For the judgment is for you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread upon Tabor. And the revolters have gone deep into slaughter, but I will discipline all of them . Religious, social, and political aspects of Israel are being judged. The people and its leaders share the same fate. There are two towns of Mizpah – one in the region of Gilead east of Galilee and the other in the region of Benjamin. The more likely reference is to Benjamin which lies just north of Judah. Tabor is a mountain at the northeast edge of the...

As the sun begins to set, the sun produces flashes of beauty, covering a great deal of the Western sky. Gorgeous shades of yellows, oranges, and reds, light up the sky, producing an awesome beauty that is never quite the same, but each has a beauty all of its own. When we are young, there is a constant desire to press forward towards some goal. We are always “almost a certain age,” We look forward to when we can drive, when we can date, when we can get married, our own home, our first child, brothers and sisters for that first child, and yes, we even look forward to when we can retire. This is the time of life when... (continue reading)

Sunday School Lesson to help teach Passover and Easter to Children, Teens, or Adults by Teresa (1,506) Are you new to teaching Sunday school and/or a parent who is looking for a lesson to aid in teaching children these stories from the Bible? Perhaps, neither and you are just looking for help with your personal study-whatever the case, I pray the following information will prove useful to you. The following is a guideline/study I put together several years ago to help explain the connection between the first Passover of the Old Testament and Jesus Christ, the final Passover lamb of the New Testament, to teens and new believers. However, it is suitable for all levels of study. Feel free to print it and use it as is, or modify it to fit your specific needs. Go through the study at...

There is a quiet revolution taking place in this country where some forward thinking counselors are abandoning the traditional counseling methods and adopting a " coaching " style. A couple of well known counselors have made the transition like Michelle Weiner Davis, author of: DIVORCE BUSTING and Dr. Willard Harley, author of HIS NEEDS HER NEEDS. Part of the problem is how services are delivered. One hour once a week is insufficient to do the job. Another part of the problem is philosophy of treatment. Counseling concentrates on couples talking... (continue reading)

Thoughts on the Resurrection by Bart (33) With the Easter season upon us I have been meditating on things pertaining to the resurrection and would like to share a few thoughts with you. I love details, and the Word of God is full of them; little words or expressions that we sometimes pass over without much thought, which are often times the words or expressions that unlock a world of truth to us. There are such truths associated with the resurrection, and not just the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, but our future resurrection as well. Jn 20:11-18 " But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, (12) And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head...

On this narrow country road we saw lights, heard sirens and could see flames dancing in the darkness of the evening. There were cars pulled over and stopped on both sides of the road. "What is the world is going on here?" "Not sure but here comes a sheriff" Mick rolled down his window "Can you folks please move to the left side of the road? We have a man who started a fire at the house up ahead and he has a shot gun. We aren't sure what he will do when we close in on him" Shortly after pulling to the left we heard the roar of a car engine. "Get down on the floorboard, Jo!" Quickly I did and felt Mick leaning over... (continue reading)
