Bad religion

In the midst of their idolatry, Israel still took oaths in the Lord’s name. (Hos 4:15) Much of what we call “Christianity” in the world is idolatry sprinkled with the Lord’s name. (our idols are money, sex, comfort etc.) Hosea warned Israel that their false religion and excessive wealth would devour them (Hos 5:7). This is also a warning for America. It’s uncanny how the message of the prophets speaks to America. We too have forgotten our God and built palaces and fortresses (Hos 8:14). Are we too far gone? Probably. All there is to do is continue to minister and woo them back one heart at a time.
