God's Word: Amos by ric gustafson
The book of Amos was written in 760-753 BC by the prophet Amos. The purpose of the book was to accuse and judge Israel for lack of mercy and injustice. When Amos came, there was great peace and material prosperity. The people had become apathetic toward God. This corrupted their worship and unjustly treated the people. Amos, a shepherd, was sent by God to tell the people to change their ways or face judgment from God.
Amos 5:14 says seek good not evil that you may live.
