A Faith that Means Something (Amos 8:1-12)
Derek Penwell
Amos is here to tell us that God’s not happy—not only with the systems of power that use people’s labor, abuse their hope, crush their dreams, steal their children and then ignore the lives that are lost, but also with a world in which people go to church every Sunday and sing about loving Jesus, but then stand idly by and say nothing.
