Today: [Amos 9] Folks, God’s in a Killing Mood! In this final chapter of Amos, the prophet describes the sword of God seeking out sin wherever it is found and destroying it utterly. What about in your life? Does God overlook minor sin or sins committed in weakness because you are a Christian? What is God’s tolerance for things in our lives inconsistent with His character? Christianity teaches that God is lenient and allows a margin for things in our lives that fall short of His pattern for us? Is this true? In this chapter we see that God’s only solution for sin is death, yet in that death is the seed promise of life and blessing beyond anything we could image both in eternity and in this life as well.
