Today we read the first half of this great article/sermon by J.C. Ryle, Few Saved - which was taken from his book, Practical Religion. Have you been taught that most people will end up in heaven? Well, then this message is for you. Next half will be given next week.
Hosea's countrymen pretended to be God's people but they were idolaters at heart. In this chapter (9) God pronounces His judgments upon them.
Hosea announces to Israel that the Lord's trumpet is about to sound, announcing His judgment upon the nation for its idolatrous sins.
The wicked insist that all is well with the world. They reject any suggestion that the evils we see increasing around us are due to their sin.
God intervenes to bless or judge individuals and nations. His Word is not only powerful, it IS power and therefore always effects what it speaks.

Christ brings us all to a point of decision in which we must either follow Him or go away from Him.
