It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Real Religion or Empty Worship, Reflections on Hosea 5:15-6:6

What sins are the people being accused of (Read the earlier part of chapter 5)? Is there any hope for them now (5:15-6:3)? How lasting is our love of God? Is it any longer than that of Israel and Judah (6:4)? What is it that God wants from them? from us (6:6)? What are modern-day parallels to steadfast love, sacrifice, knowledge of God, and burnt offerings?
