"RED FLAG!"

Hosea 4:1-3;9  (ESV)

"Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or steadfast love, and NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOD in the land; there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.  Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, and even the fish of the sea are taken away....---

v 9. And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds." 

Although the book of Hosea was written somewhere around 755BC-720BC, it could be written about the United States TODAY!  FEAR of a HOLY GOD should be gripping the leaders of our nation.  Instead we are so power drunk that we seem to believe that NO HARM can come our way.  

September 11, 2001 should have jolted us into reality.  Instead we are more resolute than ever to do things that "man" thinks is best.  Proverbs 14:12 says "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death".  

My intentions are not to scare people into changing their lives.  My intentions are to lovingly let people know that HOPE is not found in Washington DC, rather in 1 Timothy 1:1.  "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, WHICH IS OUR HOPE"!  We must return!!!
