Break Up Your Fallow Ground – Hosea 10:11-15
With every judgment that God sends He also sends an invitation to repent and find His blessing. When we let land lie fallow, we refuse to use it to grow anything, usually in order to give it a rest and

It is ironic that Israel’s idolaters were rejecting a king, and evangelicalism’s idolaters are begging for a king. Israel is a luxuriant vine that yields its fruit. The more his fruit increased, the
Continue reading...Like Grapes in the Wilderness – Hosea 9:10-17
The judgment of Yahweh’s words sounds harsh for Israel. Would He do similar harsh things to His church if they persist in foolishness and idolatry? Evangelicalism had glorious days until it began

“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another,” John 13:35. Hatred is the hallmark of heathenism, love the hallmark of Jesus Christ and his followers.

Is there anyone setting a trumpet to their lips to warn the Evangelical church? Many Evangelicals have embraced Christian Nationalism, a movement that identifies America as a Christian nation, a mostly

The mention of Adam in this passage, as having violated his covenant with God, is unusual and there have been alternative translations offered. What was Adam’s covenant? To not eat of the tree

Several place names appear in this passage. Mizpah was the home of Jephthah the judge (Judges 10:17; 11:8, 11, 29, 34) and Tabor was the site of the judge Deborah’s general Barak’s victory

Worldliness is living like the majority of the world, those who do not follow Christ. Living like the world is justified by the fact that so many live this way. It must be okay, if everyone is doing

Could Yahweh bring a controversy, a legal case, against the church in America, more specifically, the evangelical church? I believe so. We have forsaken His law with our anger and hatred against those

When God disciplines His people He often creates “hedges of thorns” that will prevent us from getting what it is we think we need. But we need discipline more than anything else. It is

Paul understands this passage as giving Gentiles access to salvation (Romans 9:23-26). If Israel can become “not God’s people” (as the Gentiles), then once again become God’s

This is a psalm of imprecation. Imprecation means “A curse; the act of invoking evil upon anyone; a prayer that a curse or calamity may fall on anyone.” By the waters of Babylon, there

A song of ascents is one sung by pilgrims on their way up (ascending, literally) to Jerusalem for one of the festivals of Yahweh, whether Passover, Weeks or Tabernacles. But why this one about the problem

Psalm 91 holds a unique place in interpretation of Scripture. The psalmist certainly knew of believers who succumbed to pestilence, even as we know many believers who have succumbed to Covid-19, and

I recently sodded my yard. Where once there was hard-scrabble dirt, there was now green grass, all the more green and luscious looking after many days of watering it. I’ve cared for my grass,
