Hosea 8 - 14



Hosea 8



The Apostasy of Israel



1 (Dt 28:49; Hos 6:7) Set the trumpet to your mouth!

One like an eagle is on the house of the Lord,

because they have transgressed My covenant

and rebelled against My law.

2 (Mt 7:21; Titus 1:16) Israel cries to Me,

"My God, we know You."

3 Israel has cast off the good;

the enemy will pursue him.

4 (Hos 2:8; 13:2) They set up kings, but not through Me;

they made princes, but I did not knowit.

With their silver and gold,

they made idols,

so that they will be cut off.

5 (Jer 13:27; Hos 10:5) Your calf, O Samaria, is rejected!

My anger is kindled against them.

How long will they be incapable of innocence?

6 For it is from Israel;

a craftsman made it,

and it is not God!

The calf of Samaria

will be broken to pieces.

7 Pr 22:8; Hos 7:9 For they sow the wind,

and they will reap the whirlwind.

The standing grain has no head

and will yield no flour.

If it were to yield,

foreigners would swallow it up.

8 (Jer 22:28; 51:34) Israel is swallowed up.

Now they are among the nations

as a vessel in which there is no pleasure.

9 (Jer 2:24; Eze 16:33-34) For they have gone up to Assyria

like a wild donkey alone by itself;

Ephraim has hired lovers.

10 (Eze 16:37; Isa 10:8) Though they hire among the nations,

I will now gather them.

They will begin to diminish due to the burden

of the king of princes.

11 (Hos 12:11) Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin,

they have become to him altars for sinning.

12 (Hos 4:6) I have written for him the great things of My law,

but they were regarded as a strange thing.

13 (Hos 9:6; Dt 28:68) For the sacrifices of My offerings,

they sacrifice flesh and eat it;

but the Lord does not accept them.

Now He will remember their iniquity

and punish their sins.

They will return to Egypt.

14 (Dt 32:18; Jer 17:27) Israel has forgotten his Maker

and built temples,

and Judah has multiplied fortified cities;

so I will send a fire upon his cities,

and it will devour his palaces.



Hosea 9



The Punishment of Israel



1 (Hos 10:5; Jer 44:17) Do not rejoice, O Israel!

Do not exult [Heb. they.] like the peoples,

for you have played the whore departing from your God.

You have loved a prostitute’s wages

on every threshing floor.

2 (Hos 2:9) The threshing floor and the winepress will not feed them,

and the new wine will fail in her.

3 (Lev 25:23; Eze 4:13) They will not dwell in the land of the Lord;

but Ephraim will return to Egypt,

and they will eat unclean things in Assyria.

4 (Hos 8:13; Jer 6:20) They will not offer wine offerings to the Lord,

and their sacrifices will not please Him.

Their sacrifices will be like the bread of mourners;

all who eat of it will be defiled.

For their bread will be only to satisfy their own hunger;

it will not come into the house of the Lord.

5 (Isa 10:3; Jer 5:31) What will you do on the appointed day,

and on the day of the festival of the Lord?

6 (Hos 10:8; Isa 5:6; 7:23) For indeed they are gone because of destruction.

Egypt will gather them,

and Memphis will bury them.

Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver,

and thorns will be in their tents.

7 (Mic 7:4; Isa 10:3) The days of punishment have come;

the days of recompense have come.

Israel knows!

The prophet is a fool;

the man of the spirit is insane,

because of your great iniquity and great hatred.

8 (Hos 5:1; Eze 3:17) The watchman of Ephraim is a prophet

for my God;

yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways,

and hatred in the house of his God.

9 (Hos 10:9; 8:13) They have deeply corrupted themselves

as in the days of Gibeah.

He will remember their iniquity,

He will punish their sins.

10 (Jer 11:13; Hos 4:14) Like grapes in the wilderness,

I found Israel.

Like the first fruit on the fig tree in its first season,

I saw your fathers.

But they went to Baal Peor

and consecrated themselves to a thing of shame,

and they became an abomination like the thing they loved.

11 (Hos 4:7; 9:14) As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird:

no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!

12 (Hos 7:13; Dt 31:17) Though they bring up their children,

I will bereave them until none are left.

Woe to them indeed,

when I depart from them!

13 (Eze 26:1-21) Just as I saw Ephraim like Tyre,

planted in a pleasant place,

so now Ephraim will bring out

his children for slaughter.

14 (Lk 23:29) Give them, O Lord—

what will You give?

Give them a miscarrying womb

and dry breasts.

15 (Hos 4:15; Isa 1:23) All their wickedness is in Gilgal,

for there I hated them.

Because of the wickedness of their deeds,

I will drive them out of My house.

I will love them no more.

All their princes are rebels.

16 (Eze 24:21; Hos 9:11-13) Ephraim is stricken,

their root is dried up,

they shall bear no fruit.

Even though they give birth,

I will slay the beloved offspring of their womb.

17 (Hos 7:13; Dt 28:64-65) My God will reject them

because they did not listen to Him,

and they will be wanderers among the nations.



Hosea 10



Israel's Sin and Captivity



1 (Hos 8:11; 1Ki 14:23) Israel is a fertile vine

that brings forth its fruit.

As his fruit multiplied,

so his altars increased;

as his land prospered,

so heHeb. they. improved his pillars.

2 (1Ki 18:21; Mic 5:13) Their heart is divided;

now they must bear their guilt.

He will break down their altars

and destroy their pillars.

3Hos 10:7; 10:15 For now they will say,

"We have no king,

because we do not fear the Lord;

and a king, what could he do for us?"

4 (Am 5:7; 2Ki 17:3-4) They speak mere words,

swearing falsely

in making a covenant.

Thus judgment springs up like a poisonous plant

in the furrows of the field.

5 (Hos 9:11; 2Ki 23:5) The inhabitants of Samaria fear

because of the calf of Beth Aven.

For its people mourn for it,

and its priests shriek for it,

because its glory has departed from it.

6 (Hos 5:13; Isa 30:3) It will be carried to Assyria

as a tribute to King Jareb.Or the great king.

Ephraim shall be put to shame,

and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.Or counsel.

7 (Hos 10:3) As for Samaria, her king will perish

like a twig on the water.

8 (Hos 9:6; Lk 23:30) The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,

will be destroyed.

Thorn and thistle will grow

on their altars.

They will say to the mountains, Cover us,

and to the hills, Fall on us.

9 (Hos 9:9) O Israel, you have sinned since the days of Gibeah.

There they have continued.Heb. he has destroyed you.

Will not the war in Gibeah against evildoers

overtake them?

10 (Eze 5:13; Jer 16:16) When I desire, I will punish them.

The nations will be gathered against them

when they are disciplined [Gk.; Heb. bound.] for their two transgressions.

11 (Dt 25:4; Jer 50:11) Ephraim is a trained heifer

that loves to thresh grain,

but I harnessed her fair neck;

I will make Ephraim pull a plow.

Judah will plow;

Jacob shall furrow for himself.

12 (Isa 45:8; Pr 11:18) Sow to yourselves righteousness,

reap mercy,

break up your fallow ground;

for it is time to seek the Lord,

until He comes

and rains righteousness upon you.

13 (Job 4:8; Ps 33:16) You have plowed wickedness.

You have reaped iniquity,

and you have eaten the fruit of lies.

Because you have trusted in your power

and in the numbers of your warriors,

14 (Hos 13:16) therefore a tumult will arise among your people,

and all your fortresses will be destroyed

as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle;

mothers were dashed to pieces upon their children.

15 (Hos 10:5; 10:7) So will it be done to you, O Bethel,

because of your great wickedness.

At dawn

the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.



Hosea 11



God's Love for Israel



1 (Ex 4:22; Mt 2:15) When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called My son.

2 (Hos 2:13; Isa 65:7) As I [Gk. Syr.; Heb. bulls.] called them,

so they went from Me. Or those who offer human sacrifice.

They sacrificed to the Baals

and burned incense to idols.

3 (Dt 1:31; Jer 30:17) I taught Ephraim to walk,

taking them up in My [Gk. Syr. Vulg.; Heb. his.] arms,

but they did not know

that I healed them.

4 (Lev 26:13; Jn 12:32) I drew them with cords of human kindness,

[Heb. cords of a man.]

with bands of love.

I was to them as those who ease the yoke on their neck, Or jaws.

and I bent down and fed them.

5 (Hos 7:16; 2Ki 17:13-14) He will return

[So LXX. Heb. He not will return.] to the land of Egypt,

and Assyria will be his king,

because they refused to return to Me.

6 (Hos 13:16; 10:6) The sword slashes in their cities,

consumes their oracle-priests,

and devours because of their own counsels.

7 (Jer 8:5; Hos 11:2) My people are bent on backsliding fromMe.

Though they called to the Most High,

none at all exalt Him.

8 (Ge 14:8; Dt 29:23; Hos 6:4) How can I give you up, Ephraim?

How can I hand you over, Israel?

How can I make you like Admah?

How can I treat you like Zeboyim?

My heart churns within Me;

My compassion is stirred.

9 (Nu 23:19; Isa 12:6; Jer 30:11) I will not execute the fierceness

of My anger;

I will not again destroy Ephraim.

For I am God, and not man,

the Holy One in your midst,

and I will not come in wrath.

10 (Isa 31:4; Joel 3:16) They will walk after the Lord,

who roars like a lion.

When He roars,

His children will come trembling from the west.

11 (Isa 11:11; 60:8 )They will come trembling

like a bird out of Egypt

and like a dove from the land of Assyria.

And I will let them dwell in their houses,

says the Lord.



God's Charge Against Ephraim



12 Ephraim has surrounded Me with lies,

and the house of Israel with deceit.

But Judah still walks with God,

and is faithful to the Holy One.Or holy ones.



Hosea 12



1 (Jer 22:22; Hos 5:13) Ephraim feeds on the wind

and chases after the east wind all day long.

He multiplies lies and devastation.

They make a covenant with Assyria,

and oil is carried to Egypt.



A History of Rebellion



2 (Hos 4:1; Mic 6:2) The Lord has a dispute with Judah,

and will punish Jacob according to his ways,

and repay him according to his doings.

3 (Ge 25:26; 32:24-28) In the womb, he took his brother by the heel,

and by his strength he strove with God.

4 (Ge 35:15) He struggled with the angel, and prevailed;

he wept, and sought favor from Him.

He found Him in Bethel,

and there He spoke with us.

5 (Ex 3:15) As for the Lord the God of Hosts,

the Lord is the name by which He is invoked!

6 (Mic 6:8; Hos 14:1) But as for you, return to your God,

hold fast to mercy and justice,

and wait on your God continually.

7 (Pr 11:1) A merchant, in whose hands are deceitful balances,

he loves to oppress.

8 (Rev 3:17; Ps 62:10) Ephraim said,

"Yet I am rich, I have found wealth for myself.

In all my labors, they shall find no offense in me

that would be sin."

9 (Lev 23:40-43; Ne 8:15-17) I am the Lord your God

from the land of Egypt.

I will again make you to dwell in tents,

as in the days of the appointed feast.

10 (2Ki 17:13; Eze 20:49 ) I have spoken by the prophets,

and I have multiplied visions,

and through the prophets I will bring destruction.Or speak in parables.

11 (Hos 8:11; 4:15) In Gilead there is iniquity;

surely they will come to nothing.

In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,

so their altars will be like stone heaps

in the furrows of the fields.

12 (Jacob) fled to the land of Aram,

and Israel served for a wife,

and for a wife he kept sheep.

13 (Ex 12:50–51; 13:3) By a prophet the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,

and by a prophet he was preserved.

14 (Eze 18:13; Da 11:18) Ephraim provoked Him to anger most bitterly,

so his Lord shall leave his bloodguilt on him

and repay him for his reproach.



Hosea 13



God's Unrelenting Judgment on Israel



1 (Hos 11:2) When Ephraim spoke, trembling,

he was exalted in Israel.

But he incurred guilt through Baal worship and he died.

2 (Isa 44:17-20; 46:6) And now they continue sinning

and have made a cast image for themselves,

idols of their silver, according to their understanding;

all of them the work of craftsmen.

They say of them,

"Those who sacrifice Or those who offer human sacrifice.

are kissing calves!"

3 (Ps 68:2; Hos 6:4) Therefore they will be like the morning cloud,

or like the early dew that passes away,

like chaff blown off the threshing floor,

or like the smoke from a chimney.

4 (Hos 12:9; Isa 45:21-22) Yet I am the Lord your God

ever since the land of Egypt.

You know no God but Me,

and there is no savior besides Me.

5 (Dt 2:7; 8:15) I knew [Or fed.] you in the wilderness,

in the land of great drought.

6 (Dt 32:13-15) When they had pasture, they were satisfied.

They were satisfied, and their heart was exalted;

therefore they forgot Me.

7 (Jer 5:6; Hos 5:14) So I will be like a lion to them,

like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

8 (2 Sa 17:8; Pr 17:12) I will attack them like a bear bereaved of her cubs,

and will tear open their rib cage.

There I will devour them like a lion,

as the wild beast would tear them to pieces.

9 (Dt 33:26; Jer 2:17) O Israel, you are destroyed,Heb. he has destroyed you.

but in Me is your help.

10 (Hos 8:4; 1Sa 8:5-6) Where now is your king

that he may save you in all your cities?

And where are your judges of whom you said,

"Give me a king and princes"?

11 (1Sa 10:19) I gave you a king in My anger,

and took him away in My wrath.

12 (Job 14:17; Dt 32:34-35) The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;

his sin is stored up.

13 (Isa 13:8; Mic 4:9-10) The pains of childbirth come for him.

He is an unwise son,

for he does not present himself

at the opening of the womb.

14 (Ps 49:15; Isa 25:8) I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.

I will redeem them from Death.

O Death, where are your plagues?

O Sheol, where is your sting?

Compassion is hidden from My eyes.

15 (Eze 19:12; 17:10) Though he be fruitful among his brothers,

the east wind will come, a wind of the Lord,

rising from the wilderness.

And his spring shall become dry,

his fountain shall be dried up.

It shall plunder his treasury

of every desirable thing.

16 (2Ki 8:12; 15:16; Isa 13:16) Samaria will be held guilty,

for she has rebelled against her God.

They will fall by the sword,

their infants will be dashed to pieces,

and their pregnant women will be ripped open.



Hosea 14



A Plea for Repentance

1 (Hos 6:1; 12:6) Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,

for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

2 (Heb 13:15; Ps 69:30-31) Take words with you

and return to the Lord.

Say to Him,

“Take away all iniquity,

and accept that which is good;

and we will offer the fruit [Gk. Syr.; Heb. bulls.] of our lips!

3 (Ps 10:14; 33:17) Assyria will not save us,

we will not ride on horses.

We will no longer say, 'Our God,'

to the work of our hands.

In You the orphan finds mercy."

4 (Zep 3:17; Isa 12:1) I will heal their backsliding;

I will love them freely,

for My anger has turned away from him.

5 (Isa 35:2; Job 29:19) I will be like the dew to Israel;

he shall grow like the lily

and shall strike his roots

like Lebanon.

6 (Ps 52:8) His branches will spread out,

and his beauty shall be like the olive tree,

and his fragrance like that of Lebanon.

7 (Ps 91:1) Those that dwell under his shadow will return,

they will flourish like the grain

and grow as a vine.

Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8 (Job 34:32; Isa 41:19) O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols?

It is I who answer and look after him.

I am like a green fir tree;

your fruit is found in Me.

9 (Ps 107:43; Pr 10:29) Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;

whoever prudent, let him know them.

For the ways of the Lord are right,

and the just will walk in them;

but the transgressors stumble in them.





2) Our Daily Bread for 20 July 2021

https://odb.org/CA/2021/07/20/my-god-is-so-big

entitled God's Power on Display



Job 38:24-38



24 By what way is the light diffused,

or the east wind scattered upon the earth?

25 (Job 28:26) Who has divided a channel for the overflowing waters,

or a path for the thunderbolt,

26 (Ps 107:35_ to cause it to rain on the earth where no man is,

on the wilderness in which there are no people,

27 to satisfy the desolate waste,

and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

28 (Jer 14:22; Ps 147:8) Does the rain have a father?

Or who has produced the drops of dew?

29 (Ps 147:16-17; Job 37:10) From whose womb came the ice?

And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?

30 (Job 37:10) The waters harden like stone,

and the surface of the deep is frozen.

31 (Job 9:9; Am 5:8) "Can you tie the cords to the Pleiades

or loosen the belt of Orion?

32 Can you bring out the constellation in its season?

Or can you guide the Bear with its cubs?

33 (Jer 31:35-36) Do you know the ordinances of heaven?

Can you set their dominion over the earth?

34 (Job 22:11) "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,

that abundance of waters may cover you?

35 Can you send lightning that they may go forth

and say to you, 'Here we are'?

36 (Job 32:8; Ps 51:6 ) Who has put wisdom in the inward parts,

or who has given understanding to the heart?

The Heb. may refer to celestial bodies.

37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?

Or who can empty out the bottles of heaven,

38 when the dust turns into hard clumps

and the clods stick together?



It was a lightning storm, and my six-year-old daughter

and I were on the floor watching the dazzling display through the glass door.

She kept repeating, "Wow! God is so big." I felt the same way.

It was obvious to both of us how small we were, and how powerful God must be.

Lines from the book of Job flashed through my mind,

"By what way is the light diffused,

or the east wind scattered upon the earth?" (Job 38:24).



Job needed to be reminded of God's power (vv. 34–41). His life had fallen

apart. His children were dead. He was broke. He was sick. His friends

offered no empathy. His wife encouraged him to abandon his faith (2:9).

Eventually, Job asked God, "Why?" (ch. 24)

and He responded out of a storm (ch. 38).



God reminded Job of His control over the physical attributes

of the world (ch. 38). This comforted him and he responded,

"My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you"(42:5).

In other words, "Now I get it, God! I see that you don't fit into my box."



When life falls apart, sometimes the most comforting thing we can

do is to lie on the floor and watch the lightning-to be reminded that the God

who created the world is big enough and loving enough to take care of us too.

We may even start singing our favorite worship songs that tell of the might

and greatness of our God.



By: Daniel Ryan Day



Reflect & Pray



When was the last time you saw God's power on display?

What went through your mind as you witnessed His bigness?



God, help me see how big You are and to stop trying to fit You into small

boxes. Help me to trust that if You’re big enough to create and control

lightning, You're big enough to help me through life's challenges.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 3 - The Promise of Completion



Philippians 1:6



6 (1Co 1:8; Jn 6:29) I am confident of this very thing,

that He who began a good work in you will perfect it

until the day of Jesus Christ.



"Elizabeth is a good student", the note on the side of the report card read,

"but she doesn't finish what she starts. She has a lot of good ideas, but

rarely brings then to completion."

Many of us are like Elizabeth. We start into a new venture with high hopes

and great motivation. Bit somewhere along the way, we become discouraged.

Someone tells us that our ideas are stpuide, or that we are not capable of

doing what we dream. We get a particulatly difficule hurdle and give up.

Sometimes we fell the Christian like is like that, too. We start well, and

believe that in Christ we can accomplish anything. But then our prayers

become rote, our Bible reading ritual. We can't seem to regain that sense

of God's presence; we have, we conclude, "Lost our first love."

But God has a different perspective. He began the work of salvation in us;

he leads and guides us in his will, and he will complete what he has begun.

Often we fail to see God's grace in hte ongoing proces of walking with him

because his agenda is different from ours. We know what we want to see

happen in our lives; God knows what needs to happen.

"When I fist came into a relationship with Christ," one woman explained,

"I knew I had a lot of changing to do. But, strangely enough, the things God

changed weren't on my list at all!"

When God begins his work in oue lives, he has a plan for our maturity.

He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. And what God

has begun, he will finish.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to "decide" for God what problems in my life

needed dealing with?



b) Has God ever pointed out issues that were a surprise to me?



c) How can today's verse help me relax in God's will and

have confidence in the direction of my life?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Philip 4:19



19 (Ro 2:4) But my God shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



God's Reconciling Peace



Ps 85:8-13



8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will hear what God the Lord will speak,

for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints,

but let them not turn again to folly.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Surely His salvation is near to them who fear Him,

that glory may dwell in our land.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Mercy and truth have met together;

righteousness and peace have kissed.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Truth springs from the ground,

and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12 Yes, the Lord gives that which is good,

and our land shall yield its increase.

13 Righteousness shall go before Him

and prepare a way for His footsteps.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity



(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .
