The book of Hosea is divided into two unequal sections: The first (Chapters 1–3) uses the relationship between Hosea and Gomer, to set the stage
 for the second (Chapters 4–14), which deals with God’s complaint against Israel and the coming judgment. In the first, we have the faithful prophet and the faithless bride; in the second, we see the faithful God and faithless Israel.
The theme of the book is the loyal love of God for idolatrous Israel, and the power of His redemption and forgiveness to transform her into His beloved bride.

A Faith That Endures #3

James - A Faith That Endures

Crooked sticks are situations we cannot control and designed for our faith/endurance (Jam 1:12). Lust: Jam 1:15 gives birth to death; Jam 1:16 the source of self-deception; Jam 4:1-2 cause of division and strife; Jam 4:4 makes us a spiritual adulteress and enemy of God. When God seems like the unjust King (Luk 18:5-9); God is going to delay until the answer is timed according to His plan; God may wait, but He's never late (Jam 1:13-15). If you choose to live in sin, you're dead (operationally/functionally). Jam 1:16 written to believers - don't be deceived, God is good; 1Pe 3:15 live your life in such a way that someone sees to power of it. Outline of the book: Jam 1:19. We can loose joy, wisdom if we don't take in the word (Jam 1:21).

From Series: "James - A Faith That Endures"

Given a the Washington DC Conference in November 2007 this 8-part study in James examines our faith. We are to be 'doers' and not 'hearers' only. By this we are 'justified' before men (not God). In this way James complements (and precedes) Paul writings.
