Hear the word of the Lord, O people of Israel;
for the Lord has an indictment against the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or loyalty,
and no knowledge of God in the land.
Swearing, lying, and murder,
and stealing and adultery break out;
bloodshed follows bloodshed.
Therefore the land mourns,
and all who live in it languish;
together with the wild animals
and the birds of the air,
even the fish of the sea are perishing.

Hosea 4:1-3
Canterbury@ULM will continue our "Embracing the Prophets" series tomorrow, 2/12/15, at 11:30 a.m.
I will meet you in Walker 1-113 and am bringing Johnny's Pizza. Bring your own beverage if you want one!
We'll and discuss upcoming events briefly, then have Noonday Prayer, then list to Walter Brueggeman on "Moral Coherence in a World of Power, Money & Violence." Hmmm. Sounds faimiliar.
Oh, and try out your own prophetic voice. Read aloud the passage above. Make yourself sound just like you imagine Hosea might have sounded!
