Finishing Amos Tonight

Tonight we will be coming to the close of the book of Amos. We will be looking into and studying the final two chapters. As we come to the end of this book, I have to honestly say that the Lord really spoke to me a lot through Amos. The book of Amos is not a book that many people would turn to in order to be encouraged, as most of it is speaking about the judgment of God's people because of their rebellion and disobedience. But the Lord has really spoken to me about the life of a prophet through the life of Amos. I have been challenged with the reality of staying near to the Lord; to hear the heart beat of the Lord and to know the words of the Lord to declare to His people. I have been challenged on what it would mean to be a faithful prophet, in the midst of opposition, and to faithfully declare the word of the Lord to His people. A key point that has really stood out to me through this book has been... where are the prophets of today? Where are the men and women of God who will stand up and speak forth the truth in today's generation and not have the fear of men? I do believe that the Lord is looking for them.... no .... let me say it better. I believe that we are here and that the Lord is calling us to this, but we need to stand up and be faithful to proclaim the word of the Lord to His people.
Is it you?

I want to encourage all of you who will have the opportunity to be here at CC Herborn next Wednesday night to come and be blessed by our sister Ronja Fritzsche. She will be sharing with us about her time in Jamaica! Come and be blessed with her testimony and some music that she will be sharing with us! I am really looking forward to it!
