Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa
In the time of Amos, the Northern Kingdom of Israel was prosperous, but spiritually corrupt.
...Even to Israel, who abandoned the Lord, turned away from Him, and sought other gods, and received punishment from the Lord, the Lord God always continues to extend His hand.
"Live seeking me!"
...😢
...Bethel and Gilgal, mentioned in verse 5, were centers of idolatry in the Northern Kingdom of Israel at that time...
...Even after becoming Christians...I occasionally see people
serving various idols...🧐
✳️Things that are more important than Jesus are called idolatry...
...To us who are lost...
"Live seeking me!"
The Lord is calling out to us!
We desire to respond to the voice of God's love.
Shalom
