The Controversial, Convicting Word...

  Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel,
  for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land.
 There is no faithfulness or steadfast love,
  and no knowledge of God in the land;
 there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
  they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
(Hosea 4:1-2 ESV)
The world ususally loves controversy.  It's the fodder of spin-doctors.  It helps keep drama in the schoolroom and the office.  But this controversy is with God.  It's not a matter of opinion.  It's fact.  Yet no one seems to care.  The controversy is building.  He keeps speaking His Word; we keep ignoring it.  This will not go on forever...
