From the Pulpit...

We continue our study in the book of Amos. No king of Israel ever made war against Phoenicia, especially the two major cities, Tyre and Sidon. With the judgments against the nations finished, the prophet proceeded to address Judah, moving ever closer to his ultimate target of Israel. The nations were judged because they had sinned against the law of God, which was written in the heart and conscience. Judah and Israel were judged because they sinned against God's revealed, written law.
