THAT YOU MAY LIVE

Amos 5:14

Seek good and not evil so that you may live, so that the Lord God Almighty will be with you. As you have said,

Personal Challenge

Amos was a prophet who was called upon by God to press the people to repent of their evil ways and to return to worshipping God in the right way. What was this right way? Jesus made it very clear when He summed up the entire law in the Old Testament with two commands: Love God and love your neighbor. If anyone is
going to label themselves as a Christian, then the fruit of their labors must show that they are abiding by these commandments. So much of what we are seeing today in the politics of our country is so much about claiming the false label of being “Christian” and behaving as pagans by abandoning those who cannot defend themselves. This is not Christian. This is not seeking good over evil. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
