Amos: Time for a Turnaround
We rarely read the prophetic books of the Old Testament, or if we do read them, we read only the “hopeful” portions. The majority of them just seem irrelevant—weird, cranky preachers talking about obscure places and events, mentioning the anger of God and foretelling horrific judgment. But if we look closer, these books still speak to us. Amos is a great example. A prophet sent to a highly religious and affluent society to show them how God truly felt about them is an apt wakeup call to American Christians today. Will we listen?
Part 1: A Shot Across the Bow
The Israelites of Amos’ time thought that God’s judgment was for everyone but them. But God sent Amos to give them the hard message they needed to hear. Are we open to hearing how God truly feels about us?
