Amos spoke to a generation of comfort and wealth. His listeners had abandoned their faith, replacing it with the bounty of their achievements.
So we, today, abandon the source of our strength to satisfy our gluttony.
Today, with the advent of leftist, humanist control of our government and our institutions we are beginning to reap the whirlwind that comes when a people turn away from the Lord.
Amos called his people to repent but they would not repent. Just so our society refuses to repent of its true evil and instead cries out against those who seek to follow the Lord, calling them evil.
The end times occur when good is replaced with evil and the Way of the Lord is made an offense to the people. We are in those days.
Yes...we are there but I fear it will get much worse. On the news last week a mention was made of things becoming so politically correct that we had to change the name of the Freedom Towers. The commentator said it is getting so we can't say "freedom" in school. My thought was...we can't even say God in school! Yes, we are in those days!
