There is great wisdom in what you say here, Amos. [Please forgive my tiny edits.] Let them who have the ears to hear the word of God understand your testimony, and through them, others as well.
May God ever bless you.
Thank you Betty. This thread is an excellent example of the knee jerk tendencies of some Freepers. A number of people here have leapt to precisely the wrong interpretation of my words and then piled on in a gleeful attempt to discredit my words.
I never need to look far to find examples of the attitudes that Amos was faced with. He spoke to a people who arrogantly discredited his words. They did not want to hear the Word of God but stuffed up their ears and ridiculed Amos, distorting his warnings.
Even my feeble attempts to emulate the great prophet Amos incur vitriolic contempt based on distortion. The ears of those who claim to know the Word are stopped up. How shall they hear?
Indeed. Thank you for the ping! And thank you for your insights, Amos the Prophet.
