Amos 5 – Let Justice Roll (Op Ed)

July 2, 2020

Be wary. Winking at injustice will hinder your worship.

Amos 2:6-16 – Injustice Everywhere

July 2, 2020

Not a single transgression, not a single action involves their own items. It was someone else’s young girl prostituted, someone else’s coat strung out, someone else’s wine giving way to debauchery. They worship and sin and make sure it is at no cost to themselves. This may be a warning sign: if your religion does not cost you anything, then might you be worshiping yourself?

Amos 1:3-2:6 – A World Without Priests

July 1, 2020

Christians are a new nation of priests to mediate God’s Word to the world. Do not grow weary of doing the work. In Amos’ day, Judah & Israel forfeited this role and succumbed to idolatry. They lost the only true distinction that could bring righteousness and salvation in the earth. Worshiping Ba’al, they becomes priests of oppression and injustice.

Amos 1:1-2 – The Man & His Mission

June 30, 2020

Ultimately it is not Amos’ message at all; it is Yahweh’s. So Amos must go, and Israel ought listen.

For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edges sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.  Hebrews 4:11-13
