Monday:
Amos 1-3 God is Not Happy With Israel
We are going to read the prophet Amos this week. He seems to denounce these four things:
1. Israel’s Reliance upon Military Might
2. Grave Injustice in Social Dealings
3. Abhorrent Immorality
4. Shallow Meaningless Piety
Wow! Was Amos watching daytime TV?
Tuesday:
Amos 4-6 God’s is Still Not Happy
Like a daytime soap, the story continues on.
Wednesday:
Amos 7-9 Five Visions of God’s Judgment
From plumb lines, to summer fruit, to …
Thursday:
Matthew 10 Jesus Sends the Disciples
A insightful chapter to center and focus our lives. Some of this stuff sounds really tough. gee whiz
Friday:
2 Corinthians 9 About Helping the Poor
Paul the apostle shares his thoughts about ministry. He is clear that as God’s children we should go about doing ministry, not just talking about ministry. Far too often I find myself talking about ministry when my heart wants to really be out there doing something extra-ordinary.
Saturday:
Amos 7:7-9 The Plumb Line
This is the particular scripture we are looking at on Sunday. Now that you have read the entire book of Amos you have a pretty good idea of the plumb line and its purpose. What is God Plumb Line exactly? Is it righteousness, grace, or love? Is the standard the same for every one of God’s children? How should we go about holding one another accountable in the way in which we should live? What is God saying to us as we reflect upon our response to current events? I know; too many questions. I hope to have some thoughtful answers to share with you on Sunday.
Sunday: Reflect and Worship
