629. Hosea - Chapter 4 (#1) - My People are Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge - August 29, 2024

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 29. I will then key in on verse 1 - He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Friends, Verse 1 could easily be describing the country of Israel during the time when Hosea was the prophet that God called to that country. On today's podcast we will begin the first half of Chapter 4 of Hosea. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:1. Hear the word of the Lord.2. Therefore you shall stumble in the day.3. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.Call to Action - Imagine what it must have been like where the Israelites were worshipping Baal. Whether it was the priests and prophets eating the meat which they had brought as sacrifices or watching (or indulging) in explicit sex as part of this Baal worship, it must have incensed God (since God is a jealous God)!
