This Sunday Matt fielded questions about Critical Race Theory, Annihilationism, and much more.

This Tuesday morning we continued our study of the minor prophets in the book of Hosea in chapter 4 and will, hopefully, move on to chapter 5. In chapter 5, God, through Hosea, confronts Israel regarding her syncretism. They have blended together the worship of other gods and use of human made images with the worship of YHWH, setting him among the gods as if he were like them. The church in our day does the same, taking the gods of our day, sex, money, success, assuming that God blesses our misuse of them. And yet, the overarching message of Hosea is that God, despite our infidelity, is always faithful. He purchases his bride back and cleanses her because his property is always to have mercy.

This Thursday evening, we continued our study of the book of Ecclesiastes. We picked up in chapter 3.  You can read Ecclesiastes 3 here.

In the 60’s a band called The Byrds took Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 and turned it into a hugely popular folk/rock song. But if people knew what Solomon meant by the poem, I’m not so sure it would be a hit. The Byrds’ point, as the Vietnam War was raging, was that there “is a time for peace” and that this is the time. Solomon’s point was that though we might wish we could determine the times and seasons…these belong to God and are out of our hands. We cannot conform reality to our desires but must rather learn to accept that to everything there is a season.
