In the book of Hosea, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the powerful imagery of covenant love, betrayal, and redemption as Israel turns away from the Lord. Through Hosea’s difficult personal experiences marrying a prostitute and prophetic teachings, we discover a Savior who continues to reach out with mercy, compassion, and unfailing love—even when His people wander. Join Lynne in Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines: Find Their Savior in the Old Testament as we uncover the women, relationships, and spiritual lessons that help us better understand Jesus Christ and His enduring covenant love.#Hosea #OldTestament #LynneHiltonWilson #HandmaidensHaremsAndHeroines #JesusChrist #ScriptureStudy #ComeFollowMePlease leave a comment below with your thoughts and insights regarding this video, and please consider subscribing to this channel and visiting our website for more content like this: https://scripturecentral.org/*Donate to Scripture Central:https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/scripture-central/donations*Sign up for our email list:https://scripture-central.kit.com/496579499f*Download our free scripture study tool, the ScripturePlus app: https://www.scriptureplus.org/

There is a big difference between “pressing forward, continually holding fast” and “feeling your way” along. As for the path, the Lord said, “…strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” The choice is clear: either get on the path and press forward continually, holding fast to the word of God and fall down at the destination of light and life, or go any other way, whatever other way, every other way into chaos, darkness, and death.On the steepest stretches you may think, “I can’t keep going. It isn’t that I don’t want to; I just don’t know how I can take another step.” And then you take another step, and then another, and with the Lord’s help you keep going, one step and then another and another.The essential problem in life is separation from God, our Father, who alone can bless you. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; He alone bridges the gap if you will believe and follow Him to the end. Therefore, cross the bridge and close the gap. Believe and follow Christ to the end. Choose best. Choose life. Choose Christ. Partake of the fruit of the tree of life and help others do the same. Stand forever, and help others do the same.

People inadvertently replace Christ with what He did. They speak about the Atonement and “the power of the Atonement” as though it were an independent resource.The One who is Christ will intervene, not the Atonement; He will stand between us and justice; He will offset our mistakes because of His Atonement, but He will hold us guiltless. He does that. There is no “power of the Atonement” separate and apart from God. Christ can forgive our sins because He satisfied the demands of justice, having suffered for our sins. He will qualify us to receive God’s Spirit, and ultimately God’s life. Those are the great gifts of God: the gift of His Son and the gift of His Spirit, and by those two gifts we may qualify for the gift of His life. Jesus Christ is “the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by (Him).” He is the Way, the ideal to which every human heart and mind should aspire. He is the Truth, how to achieve it. He is the Life, the power to do it and the reward when you do. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end and the course in between. He is the destination, the route, and the outcome.

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines: Women in the Old Testament, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the book of Daniel, a remarkable account of faith, prophecy, and survival. As Jerusalem falls and terrible judgments come upon the people of Israel, Daniel and his companions must remain faithful to God while navigating the dangerous world of the Babylonian court. First there is the lion's den, then Nebuchadnezzar’s troubling dream of a great statue destroyed by a stone cut out of a mountain without hands and finally the mysterious handwriting on the wall that announces the downfall of a king. Daniel reveals God’s power over earthly kingdoms and His continuing purposes for His covenant people.But what can we learn about the women who lived and wielded influence in the Babylonian court? Although women are less prominent in Daniel’s narrative than in many other Old Testament books, royal women held positions of influence in the ancient Near Eastern world, and the book invites us to consider the roles women played in the courts and cultures surrounding Israel’s exile. Lynne examines the historical setting of Daniel’s visions and experiences, the powerful figures who shaped this era, and the lessons of courage, wisdom, and faithfulness that emerge from these extraordinary events. Join us as we discover how the book of Daniel points beyond earthly rulers and empires to the everlasting kingdom of God—and strengthens our faith in Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah.#HandmaidensHaremsAndHeroines #LynneHiltonWilson #BookOfDaniel #WomenInScripture #WomenOfTheOldTestament #OldTestament #BibleStudy #BabylonianExile #DanielInTheLionsDen #ScriptureCentral #ComeFollowMe #JesusChrist
