Cannot Serve Two Masters

Hosea 7:8 talks about how Ephraim is like a cake unturned. Reminds me of the nomadic people of the East and how they baked their bread on hot rocks. If the dough wasn't turned, one side of the loaf would be burned and the other side half-baked or under cooked.


Ephraim was like a cake unturned as he was not fully committed to the Lord, mixing and compromising with the unbelievers.

When it comes to our relationship with the Lord, we must be thorough and not 'half-baked'. His gracious work must permeate our whole being, just as the smell of fresh baked bread permeates through the whole house, so that our heart, mind, and soul are all devoted to Him.

Compromise with the world leads to an unbalanced life, you cannot serve two masters. My friends, live every moment of every day for Christ, don't be half-baked! Don't compromise your faith, stand up and serve the King of kings and Lord of lords!
