Exploring the Meaning of Amos 3
Ngu Helen Kennedy
A church cannot serve two masters. It cannot peacefully coexist with truths and falsities. To want to live with both and to seek a compromise will cause the church to be laid to waste. The church will perish, and the goods and truths of the Word will be taken away from it.
Amos 6:4-6
4
Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5
who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
