*A- The problem with these books, is the problem common*
* to man,: *We so soon forget and revert to our old ways.
1- *Remember* our cross-reference from last week:
*James **1:22**, *But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
a- *We are a people* who so conveniently forget the
* * things that we consider important BUT go against
the desires of our flesh.
- The problem with Israel at this time is the
same problem with the church:
*Hosea 8:14, *“For Israel has forgotten his Maker, ...
- This is NOT an intellectual
forgetness, it is a MORAL forgetness.
~* And in reality it’s not even forgetting it
is ignoring.
*> Again something **Israel** was warned about early and the*
* church reminded of regularly.*
*Deuteronomy 4:23, *Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you.
*Deuteronomy 6:10-12*
*Deuteronomy 8:10-20*
* B- The best book in order to help self = THE BIBLE*
* *1- The word that transforms so we’ll have a spirit to
conform.
a- The best thing is, the bible is not about self help,
but God who helps me daily.
*John 14:26, *But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
*> BUT as far as the forgetful or purposefully ignorant* *(Look at*
* Verse 1).*
*Hosea 8:1, *“/Set/ the trumpet to your mouth!
*A- The Jews used trumpets to announce special occasions*
* and to sound alarms, to gather assemblies and to *
* proclaim war.*
* *1- The Idea to Israel is what follows is a warning:
2- The idea to the church:
*1 Peter 4:17, *For the time /has come/ for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if /it begins/ with us first, what will /be/ the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
*> Chapter 8 = 5 sins that result from a people who forget (ignore) *
* the living God.*
* A- A people, although they know God, but decide to ignore *
* God, will:*
*#1- Ignore God’s word*
*#2- Will heap up for themselves leaders after their own lust, *
* kings to fill their desires.*
*#3- Idolatry will reign.*
*#4- They will be unequally yoked.*
*#5- They will worship the worthless.*
* *
*Read Verses 1-3*
* A- The whole point the prophet is making here is:*
* *1- Israel says they have a relationship with God (V:2),
BUT they don’t keep God’s word.
a- The idea here is a relationship in which one
person refuses to listen is not much of a
relationship.
* 2- We are all set up to listen to day:*
a- e-mail, phone, cell phone, blueberry, test
message, voice mail.
- But they seem to be more a means of
speaking than elements of a lifestyle of
listening.
*B- SEE GOD is not jealous of you BUT FOR YOU.*
* *1- He is not mad at man but madly in love with man.
a- BUT if we don’t listen He’ll get our attention.
*Read Jeremiah 13:15-17*
*Revelation 2-3 7X’s: *“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
’
*Revelation 13:9, *If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
(People of the church age who did not have an ear to hear)
* 2- If THE LORD is your lord you’ll hear him.*
*Luke **6:46**, *“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?
* *
*#2- Those who ignore God will: Will heap up for themselves *
* leaders after their own lust, kings to fill their desires.*
*Hosea 8:4, *“They set up kings, but not by Me; They made princes, but I did not acknowledge /them./
From their silver and gold They made idols for themselves— That they might be cut off.
* *
* A- We setup our politicians as gods and are disappointed *
* with they can’t deliver.*
* *1- What ever the platform of the next election is, Dem or
Rep.
they will not be able to make good.
a- It’s the disadvantage that the incumbent has.
- BUT ISN’T IT GOD WHO SETS LEADERS
IN OFFICE?
*Romans 13:1, *Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities.
