The ancient world around Israel was saturated with the idol worship representing gods of sex, money, power, and war. Both the Southern Kingdom of Judah and the Northern Kingdom of Israel succumbed to these temptations, but the worst was the Northern Kingdom of Israel. What happened when God's people confused outward success with spiritual faithfulness? Hear Amos expose the false security of prosperity and the deadly pull of idolatry. Measure justice and righteousness by God's standard, not the changing values of the culture. Listen to the Lion who roars before judgment falls and respond while His grace is still extended. Rest in the hope that the God who warns His people also promises future restoration through the Messiah.
