Most Bible readers are familiar with the basic story of Hosea. God tells Hosea to marry a woman of harlotry (Gomer), which represents God’s relationship with Israel. Just as Gomer was faithless towards Hosea, so was Israel faithless towards God.

The first chapter of Hosea says they have three kids — each of which with names that describe the punishment of Israel. There is a lot we can learn from these three names, both what it meant for Israel, and what it can mean for us today.

CloseNoah is a shining light in the Old Testament, until that little "incident" after the flood involving some alcohol and his three sons. One son humiliated him, while the other two "walked backwards towards sin," not wanting any part in shaming their father any further. When we're dealing with someone that is lost in their own sin, we also have to tread lightly. Handle it in love (but handle it!) and help them work through it as best we can.
