    Explore the work of the Princeton, Indiana producer and engineer Robert Hosea Williams (also known as R. José Williams) best known for his work with Gil Scott-Heron. Williams was born in 1936 in Princeton, Indiana, the county seat of Gibson County in the state's far southwestern corner. While his career would eventually take him far from southern Indiana, his family's roots in the region ran deep.  His mother, Martha Alice Stewart, came from one of Gibson County's long-established Black families. Her father, Hosea Henry Stewart, was born in Lyles Station, Indiana, one of the most significant Black settlements in the state.  Founded in the 1840s by free Black landowners, Lyles Station grew into a self-sustaining farming community with its own school, churches, businesses, and railroad access. For decades, it served as a center of Black life in the region.  Gibson County was home to several early Black settlements, formed by free Black families migrating from the South in the early 19th century. These communities emphasized land ownership, education, spiritual life, and mutual support—values passed down across generations, even as many rural settlements declined in the 20th century due to flooding, economic change, and migration into towns like Princeton.  Williams' family left Princeton in the late 1940s, but the values of self-determination and cultural pride rooted in Gibson County found their way into Williams' production work, reflected in the socially conscious music he produced for artists like Gil Scott-Heron and Father's Children.  In the early 1970s, Williams established himself as a recording engineer and producer in the Washington, D.C. area, building a career that placed him at the center of the city's vibrant but often overlooked soul and R&B scene. In D.C., Williams founded Red, Black and Green Productions, named after the Pan-African flag. Under that banner, he worked with many R&B and funk musicians clustered around the nation's capital, including Father's Children, The Summits, and Dyson's Faces. In 1973, Williams came to the attention of poet and singer-songwriter Gil Scott-Heron, who had been teaching at Federal City College in D.C. Scott-Heron had gained national prominence with his 1971 recording The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Along with his musical collaborator Brian Jackson, Scott-Heron secured Williams as producer and engineer for his classic 1974 release, Winter in America. Join us for music featuring the engineer and producer Robert Hosea Williams.

In this Mobile Metron episode, Bishop Jim Swilley tells the raw, unfiltered story behind his mother's fall, the impossible decisions of elder care, and the unexpected “angels” who showed up right on time. Then he pivots into a provocative teaching on Chronos vs. Kairos, why guilt keeps us trapped, and why Jesus' words to Peter in John 21 sound a lot like modern caregiving. Along the way, he challenges fundamentalism, reframes “the fall,” and asks the question most of us avoid until life forces it: Are you trying to live longer… or live freer? 5 takeaways Chronos measures life. Kairos interprets it.Chronos is the clock/calendar; Kairos is the “time-out-of-time” moment where meaning snaps into focus (anchored by “my times are in your hands” — Psalm 31:15). Elder care isn't a “curse” — it's a season.Swilley reads Jesus' words about aging and dependence (John 21:18) as less “doom” and more “this is what long life often looks like.” Guilt isn't proof you're loving. It can be a leash.A care team's permission—“you don't have to come every day”—becomes a spiritual release: love can be real without self-punishment. Be specific about the life you're asking for.Not just “more years,” but “more years with clarity, mobility, and peace,” reflecting on the idea of long lifespan (Swilley references 120 years; see Genesis 6:3) and the cost of unmanaged longevity. Your life becomes lighter when it becomes useful.The old hymn idea—“If I can help somebody, my living shall not be in vain”—turns into an inventory of legacy: what you built, who you lifted, what your presence changed (echoing the wisdom of “teach us to number our days” — Psalm 90:12). Pull-quote (from the episode) “Focus on the kairos time of your life. Don't be so obsessed with the chronos time.” Scriptures referenced (with citations) “The kingdom… brings out… treasures new and old” — Matthew 13:52 “The Spirit of the Lord… liberty to the captives” — Isaiah 61:1 (also echoed in Luke 4:18) “The tongue of the learned” — Isaiah 50:4 “Let there be light” — Genesis 1:3 “My times are in Your hands” — Psalm 31:15 “Rightly dividing the word” — 2 Timothy 2:15 “The heavens declare the glory of God” — Psalm 19:1 “Man shall not live by bread alone…” — Deuteronomy 8:3 (quoted in Matthew 4:4) “I AM” — Exodus 3:14 “I desire mercy, not sacrifice” — Hosea 6:6 (quoted in Matthew 9:13 and Matthew 12:7) Curses / sweat of brow / labor pains — Genesis 3:16–19 Jesus & Peter on love, feeding sheep, aging, and “what is that to you?” — John 21:15–22 “Teach us to number our days” — Psalm 90:12 “120 years” — Genesis 6:3 “Blessed when you come in and go out” — Deuteronomy 28:6 “No plague… near your dwelling” — Psalm 91:10

    This Sunday, we'll step into one of the most personal and emotionally charged books in all of Scripture: the book of Hosea. Hosea ministered in the northern kingdom of Israel during a time of political chaos, moral collapse, and rampant idolatry, just decades before the Assyrian invasion. What makes Hosea unique among the prophets is that God used Hosea's marriage as the message. God commanded Hosea to marry Gomer, a woman marked by unfaithfulness, and then to love her faithfully even as she repeatedly betrayed him. Hosea's life became a living illustration of God's own relationship with Israel - a steady love met with constant wandering. Through Hosea, God reveals that idolatry is not merely rule-breaking; it is a relational betrayal. Israel didn't deny God's existence; they simply didn't want to interact with Him anymore. They pursued other “lovers” for security, pleasure, and identity, while assuming God would always be there. Hosea speaks not like a detached preacher, but like a wounded husband whose heart has been broken again and again. And yet, woven through the warnings and judgment is something astonishing: God refuses to give up. His discipline is not abandonment; it is pursuit. Even after declaring, “Not My People,” God immediately promises restoration by turning judgment into hope and exile into homecoming. Perhaps the most powerful moment comes when Hosea is told to go find Gomer again. She has been used, discarded, and for sale. He buys her back. This is where Hosea's story becomes unmistakably gospel-shaped. God does not wait for His people to clean themselves up; He goes after them. He pays the price. He restores the relationship. Hosea answers a timeless question: What does God do when the people He loves keep cheating on Him? The answer is not indifference, but heartbreak, discipline, relentless pursuit, and ultimately restoration. I can't wait to open this book together and hear God's tender but urgent call: “Return to the Lord your God.”

    Friday, 23 January 2026   Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” Matthew 16:6   “And Jesus, He said to them, ‘You behold, and you caution from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees'” (CG).   In the previous verse, it was noted that the disciples had forgotten to take bread as they traveled. Matthew next records, “And Jesus, He said to them, ‘You behold, and you caution from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.'”   Leaven, yeast, is something that has been noted many times in Scripture. It was something the people knew was forbidden during the Passover –   “Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. 16 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you. 17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.” Exodus 12:15-20   Elsewhere, leaven is forbidden at various times during the instructions for the sacrificial offerings, etc. The disciples would probably not understand Jesus' words outside of that type of context.   In Hosea 7:4, the use of leaven is used in a metaphorical sense, but it is not a verse that most people would look at and understand the scriptural idea that is to be explained by Jesus. There, it says –   “They are all adulterers. Like an oven heated by a baker— He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough, Until it is leavened.” Hosea 7:4   Jesus used leaven in a parable in Matthew 13:33. That too would be tough to get metaphorical meaning out of unless the disciples specially asked Him what He was talking about. In Matthew 13:51, Jesus asked the disciples if they understood everything He had spoken to them, but it is questionable if they understood it as He is now relaying.   Their thoughts would be directed to Jesus' words being literal, something Matthew will confirm.   Life application: As you read the Bible, there are thoughts that are presented, such as having no leaven in the house during the time of Passover and Unleavened Bread. It is right to stop and ask why that would be included.   Eventually, when you get to the New Testament, the idea of leaven being a metaphor for sin is explained several times. As this is so, we can know exactly why the Lord instructed the people as He did.   It was an instructional tool to teach us about the nature of sin, how God would deal with it in Christ, and our responsibilities, as well as our position in Christ. Because it is explained in the New Testament, we should go no further with metaphorical applications. Scripture has interpreted Scripture –   “Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8   Look for the meaning of things in the unfolding pages of Scripture. If no explanation is given, then careful thought should be given to why certain things are presented. Don't just make stuff up out of your head.   Instead, let the Bible provide insights into the typology. If it is correct, a panorama of interesting information will arise that will then be consistent throughout the rest of Scripture. If this doesn't happen and things don't fit elsewhere, it means your original idea was not correct.   Be careful and contemplative as you consider what the word is saying.   Lord God, what a great and precious word You have given us. May we handle it carefully and analyze it in hope of finding what You intend for it to say, not what we want it to say. Help us in this endeavor, O God. Amen.

    Monday of the Second Week of Ordinary Time - The Value of Fasting

    Catholic Daily Reflections

    Read OnlineThe disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast. People came to Jesus and objected, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Mark 2:18–19Fasting was common in Old Testament times. Its purpose was to express repentance, mourning, or preparation for divine intervention. This was especially true among John the Baptist's disciples who fasted in response to John's call to repentance and preparation for the coming of the Messiah.Though the Pharisees fasted, their fasting was often for show, to illustrate a false piety. Recall the Pharisee's prayer in the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector: “The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity—greedy, dishonest, adulterous—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income'” (Luke 18:11–12). In today's Gospel, Jesus explains that His disciples do not fast now, but that a day is coming when they will need to fast. Jesus explains this within the context of revealing His divine identity as the Bridegroom of God's people.Through the prophets, God often described His relationship with His people in terms of a marriage covenant. Isaiah said, “For your husband is your Maker; the LORD of hosts is his name, Your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, called God of all the earth” (Isaiah 54:5). Hosea prophesied, “I will betroth you to me forever: I will betroth you to me with justice and with judgment, with loyalty and with compassion…” (Hosea 2:22–23).While Jesus, the Bridegroom, was with them physically, His disciples were at their wedding banquet, celebrating the new marriage covenant God was establishing with them. It was inappropriate to fast at such a banquet. However, “the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day” (Mark 2:20). This is a reference to Jesus' Passion, Death, and Ascension. He prophesied that once the New Marital Covenant was sealed in His Blood and His earthly mission completed, “they will fast on that day.” That day is today!In the early Church, fasting was also common: “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.' Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off” (Acts 13:2–3). In this instance, fasting helped the teachers and prophets in Antioch discern Saul and Barnabas' mission in preparation for sending them forth.Today, Jesus not only calls us to regular forms of fasting and mortification, doing so is an essential part of our spiritual journey. This teaching is clear in the New Testament. For example, at the beginning of Jesus' ministry He entered the desert and “fasted for forty days and forty nights” (Matthew 4:2). This models for us the value of fasting as we attempt to fulfill our missions and overcome the temptations of the evil one.If we want to imitate our Lord, deepen our covenantal bond with Him, and further His mission, then we must regularly fast. Though fasting is only required twice a year—on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday—we are encouraged to do so weekly, especially on Fridays, uniting this practice to our prayer life. Reflect today on your practice of fasting and other forms of regular mortification. Fasting is an interior discipline that unites us to the suffering Christ and prepares our hearts to receive His abundant grace. By helping us overcome the enticements of the flesh and distractions of this world, fasting refocuses our souls on the eternal wedding feast that awaits us in Heaven. Embrace fasting not as a burden, but as a joyful opportunity to grow in holiness, deepen your covenantal relationship with the Bridegroom, and prepare more fully for the mission on which He sends you.My Lord and Bridegroom, through the shedding of Your Blood, You have established a New Covenant of love and salvation with me. I long to deepen this covenant and remain faithful to the mission You have entrusted to me. When I am tempted by the disorder of my appetites or distracted by the allurements of the world, remind me of the necessity and grace of fasting. Help me to embrace this holy practice with joyful anticipation of its spiritual rewards and with greater trust in Your providence. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe Stock Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

    The sermon, drawn from Hosea 10:12, calls believers to a spiritual renewal through the metaphor of cultivating hard, neglected soil, symbolizing hearts hardened by routine religious activity, unrepentant resistance to truth, and self-reliance. It emphasizes that true revival begins with breaking up 'foul ground'—a heart hardened by ritualism, unconfessed sin, and worldly priorities—through genuine repentance and surrender to God's voice. The message then calls for intentional sowing of righteousness through daily obedience to Scripture, faith, and humility, not self-justification, recognizing that all spiritual fruit is ultimately a gift of God's mercy, not human merit. The preacher warns against spiritual complacency, especially in the form of prosperity affirmations that mask inner emptiness, urging the congregation to confront their true condition before God. Ultimately, the call is to return to a posture of humility, where brokenness precedes restoration, and the promise of renewal—'the years the locust hath eaten'—becomes possible through genuine repentance and a softened heart.

    In this familiar story of the water changed into wine, John the gospel writer points us back to "on the third day" when the old covenant was given (Exodus 19). There at the foot of the mountain God gave his people his words; at the Cana wedding Jesus, introduced as the Word of God, was there. And in Hosea the people are called back to God, to be raised "on the third day". At the Cana wedding Jesus' response to his mother points forward to the wedding where He will be the groom to his bride, the church. John records that the disciples understood and believed in Jesus. Do we really get Jesus?

    We're blessed to hear from our Campus Pastor, Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a new message in our sermon series about how to understand the different sections of the Bible, called "Binge Reading The Bible". This message invites us to rediscover the heart of God through the often-misunderstood words of the Old Testament prophets, with a special focus on the powerful story of Hosea. Rather than portraying an angry or distant God, it reveals a faithful Father whose passionate words flow from deep covenant love and a refusal to give up on his people. Through biblical insight and honest reflection, this message helps us read the prophets with clarity, see our own hearts in the story, and respond with real repentance, deeper intimacy with God, and renewed trust. It's a compelling invitation to move beyond surface-level faith and experience the transforming power of God's steadfast, never-ending love.

    Luke 3:4-6 (RST) 4 как написано в книге слов пророка Исаии, который говорит: глас вопиющего в пустыне: приготовьте путь Господу, прямыми сделайте стези Ему; 5 всякий дол да наполнится, и всякая гора и холм да понизятся, кривизны выпрямятся и неровные пути сделХристианство — это не просто поверить,
это пустить Бога в свою жизнь Бог не вторгается силой Он приходит туда, где Ему приготовили место Выжимка из англ. проповедей «God does not force His way into a cluttered heart» Бог не протискивается в захламлённое сердце Контекст текста Иоанн Креститель — человек, который готовит людей к Иисусу Он не говорит о чудесах Он говорит о подготовке сердца 2. «ГЛАС ВОПИЮЩЕГО В ПУСТЫНЕ» Простое объяснение Глас — это голос, а не герой и еще пока ситуация в жизни человека не дойдет до вопиющей он не собирается ничего делать. Иоанн не центр, он — указатель Пустыня — место, где: нет отвлечений нет комфорта но есть тишина : Бог часто говорит громче всего, когда человек перестал шуметь. Библейские параллели Hosea 2:14 Посему вот, и Я увлеку ее, приведу ее в пустыню, и буду говорить к сердцу ее. Исх. 3 — Моисей встречает Бога в пустыне Мф. 4:1 — Иисус перед служением в пустыне Вы когда нибудь были в пустыне? Чувствуется хорошо выходя из машины, но поживи там несколько дней. Иллюстрация Иногда кризис — это не конец, а место, где Бог начинает говорить. Если сейчас в жизни пусто — это не значит, что Бог далеко Иногда Он ближе, чем когда-либо ______________________________________________________________ 3. «ПРИГОТОВЬТЕ ПУТЬ ГОСПОДУ» Исторический образ Когда царь ехал в город: люди чинят дорогу не ради дороги ради того, кто по ней едет Выжимка: Покаяние — это не наказание, а подготовка. Что значит «путь» сегодня путь = сердце мысли решения образ жизни Писание Откр. 3:20 — «стою у двери и стучу» Иллюстрация Иисус не ломает дверь. Он входит туда, где Ему открыли. Вопрос Есть ли в моей жизни место, куда я Бога не пускаю? 4. «ПРЯМЫМИ СДЕЛАЙТЕ СТЕЗИ ЕМУ» Прямой путь — прямой, прямолинейный, правильный, справедливый; не идеальная жизнь а честная Мы часто используем это слово когда хотим сказать, там все просто. Прямо. Кривые пути — это: двойная жизнь вера по воскресеньям и другая жизнь в будни Выжимка: Кривые пути всегда длиннее и болезненнее.  Притч. 3:6 — «Он направит стези твои» Иак. 1:8 — двоящийся ум Иллюстрация Бог ведёт не идеальных, а честных. 5. «ВСЯКИЙ ДОЛ ДА НАПОЛНИТСЯ» Долины — это ущелье.

    In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm joined by author and pastor's wife Whitney Lowe to talk about what it means to be pursued by God, even in the wilderness, even in the middle of pain, and even when we feel unworthy of being chosen.Whitney's new book, Called Back to Who You Are: Finding Yourself in the Wild Pursuing Love of God, releases next week, and it is deeply rooted in her own story—one that includes growing up in the church, quietly believing lies about her worth, walking through an eating disorder, and being met by God in a powerful way through the book of Hosea while on a mission trip in Turkey.We talk about:What it looks like to be called back instead of cast awayHow God is gentle with us but ruthless with the things that hold us captiveWhy feeling unwanted is often an invitation to encounter God's pursuitHow revival begins when we understand we are deeply lovedWhat it means to live like people who have been truly foundWhitney reminds us that the wilderness isn't where God abandons us—it's where He speaks tenderly and calls us back to Himself.Bio:  Whitney Lowe is a Christian influencer who wants to see young women excited about God's work: in the Bible, in history, in the world and in themselves. She writes and creates on Instagram at @whitneypiersonlowe, an account born from the realization that young women simply do not interact with the Bible enough to be changed by its truth. Whitney is passionate about disrupting the toxic scroll of social media with hope, peace, and light straight from Scripture.  She released her first devotional, Set Your Eyes Higher: A 40-Day Reset to Slow Your Anxiety and Fix Your Focus on God, in September 24. Her newest book, Called Back to Who You Are: Finding Yourself in the Wild, Pursuing Love of God, releases from Zondervan in January 2026.  Whitney grew up in Denver, Colorado, and graduated from Westmont College with a degree Religious Studies.

    In this episode of **Fearless with Mark & Amber**, we unpack the crucial difference between **fear and awareness**—and why Scripture calls believers to discernment, not paralysis. With deception accelerating through **AI-generated content, false headlines, and cultural manipulation**, how can Christians remain sober-minded and watchful without living in fear? Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and real-world experience in church security and media, Mark and Amber explain why **awareness equips us**, while fear seeks to immobilize us. We explore: • Why God did *not* give us a spirit of fear • How discernment protects families and churches • The danger of silence in the faith community • What it means to fight **from victory**, not for it • Teaching our children truth in the last days This conversation is both a warning and an encouragement—grounded in God's Word and anchored in the unshakable victory of Christ.

    Imagine you're walking through an art gallery, and standing nearby is the artist whose work you admiring. So you point to an object in one corner of an especially beautiful painting, and ask the artist, "Why did you put this right here? What does it mean?" The artist--if a true artist answers, "Well, if I could explain it, I would not have had to paint it." You would get a similar answer from a poet, a composer, a sculpture, and most any other artist. "If I could explain it, I would not have had to write it, compose it, sculpt it."

Pastor Dustin Clegg has the following observations:1) Jesus has every right to call His people to impossible and dreadful things to put His mercies on display for a broken world to see, and the only way we can rightly do what He calls us to is to be broken over what He has done for us more than what He called us to. (Hosea 1:1-3)2) God is faithful. God keeps His promises. He is merciful and loving. He is full of grace and compassion. But God will judge idolatry of the heart. (Hosea 1:3-7)3) It doesn't matter if we call Jesus ours if He is not calling us His. (Hosea 1:8-9)4) God's promises are based on His goodness, not on our faithfulness.

Drawing from Hosea 10:12, Pastor Todd unpacks God's call to spiritual renewal through repentance, heart cultivation, and persistent prayer.This message challenges believers to confront subtle compromise, hardened areas of the heart, and spiritual indifference, while reminding us that there is more of God's presence, power, and fruit available to those who seek Him. Through biblical teaching, historical examples of revival, and personal testimony, listeners are urged to return to holiness, break up fallow ground, and seek the Lord with urgency—until He shows up.This is a call to surrender, consecration, and renewed pursuit of God—for personal revival that leads to awakening in the world around us.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

Drawing from Hosea 10, Pastor Matt reminds us that encounters with God don't happen by accident—they happen when hungry hearts meet a willing God.Through Scripture, illustration, and pastoral insight, this teaching explores three ways we prepare our hearts for an encounter with the presence of God: sowing righteousness, breaking up the fallow ground of spiritual drift and hardness, and intentionally seeking the Lord. This message confronts subtle cynicism, self-reliance, and spiritual neglect, while offering hope that God is near, ready, and eager to be found.If you've ever felt weary, disappointed, spiritually dry, or hungry for more of God, this message is a call back to simple faith, renewed hunger, and joyful pursuit—trusting that when we seek the Lord, He will come and rain righteousness upon us.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

    We are returning to Hosea this morningThe prophet who had to experience in his own life, with his wife, what God had experienced with Israel– a people who were unfaithful to him, not only by adultery,• but prostituting themselves with other gods• you may have guessed that I'm not comfortable with Hosea◦ I'd rather be with Jesus in the New Testament, loving and rescuing sinners◦ instead, Hosea delivers a barrage of condemnations– Israel had a long history of turning their backs on Yahweh• and he repeatedly called them to return to him◦ when they didn't return , he withdrew from them◦ and there were consequences–enemy invasion and crop failure• this time, they were reaching a point of no return◦ I think it's okay to say God was desperate to stop them, to reach them and motivate them to return◦ so he used strong language and threats of calamity

    From the MLJ Archive on Oneplace.com

    Romans 9:25-26 — The Old Testament Scriptures testify that salvation is for Jews as well as the Gentiles. Surprisingly, many Jews needed to be convinced of this in the first century. In this sermon on Romans 9:25–26 titled “Jew and Gentile,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones calls attention to the apostle Paul's method. He builds his case using reason, logic, and Scripture. It is clear, says Dr. Lloyd-Jones, that Paul is trying to be winsome and persuasive towards his fellow Jews. Nevertheless, the great apostle refutes the idea that it is by physical birth or lineage that one can be called a child of the living God. Paul turns to the Scriptures to show how no one should be surprised at this. Dr. Lloyd-Jones engages the issue of Paul's citation of Hosea. He combats skeptics of the doctrine of inspiration who question the legitimacy of Paul's application of Hosea to the Gentiles. As Paul is led by the Holy Spirit to write Scripture himself, he states the same essential truth in a slightly different form than Hosea does. However, since it is the same Holy Spirit that inspired both, Christians can have confidence Paul is applying Scripture appropriately. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones helps the listener understand how the apostle Paul correctly handles Holy Scripture in this passage.

You may be the greatest singer that ever walked the earth, but if you don’t conform and listen, you’ll still be a great singer, but nobody will know.’” - Brenda Lee “If you don’t make it on your voice, you’ll make it on your kindness. Goodness always wins out.” - Brenda Lee “I think that walking alongside other people in celebrations and in painful times, and constantly looking to the Scripture to inform, guide, and help you make decisions, to find hope when times are dark, and to be able to magnify your joys when you’re celebrating—to do that together is the very nature of what we see God unfolding in the Bible.” - Philip Nation “[God] is constantly calling people together to live by faith and to walk through this world, not as lone rangers and solitary believers, but to do it together.” - Philip Nation “There is plenty of anxiety and stress and pressure that just flows through our lives, which is why we need the study of Scripture. It’s why we need to be able to pause in prayer [and do as] the Scripture tells us, to pray without ceasing, just to let our hearts be abounding in prayer and our minds being constantly renewed by the Scripture.” - Philip Nation “When I pick up the Bible, I realize that this is God knowing what humanity is all about and desiring to speak with me personally, kindly, and clearly. Even in the midst of stress and anxiety, it is the place we can turn our minds and allow the Holy Spirit to say, ‘I want to meet you and care for you in this moment of need.’” - Philip Nation ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
