Amo 8:11 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.
Amo 8:12 They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.
In context this was for Israel in captivity. But, it could be applied to those who are only taught by our schools a godless humanism or those caught up in movements not of God. Instead of the ten commandments on the blackboards of schools and in public places we have political correctness; words about racism, and streets painted with Black Lives Matter. There are cries to take away our guns and to defund the police. You can see the powers of darkness in all of this.
Churches that no longer preach the gospel message, have strayed from their purpose. They are promoting self help and get rich by seeking all you can get now, in this life, Instead of preparing for the eternal life. I see a problem with churches that are becoming as the world in their "programs" and their music. People looking for God, leave empty and perplexed.
I admire those who were faithful in sharing God's word. Many of these people are still sharing through tapes of past sermons, even after they have left this life and are with Jesus. I admire and enjoy the words of Billy Graham, Adrian Rogers, J Vernon McGee, D. James Kennedy, Oswald Chambers and others who have gone to the Lord. There are many gifted preachers in the land and in the churches and we live in an evil time. We have the light of God's word to keep the darkness from snuffing out the light. Keep it shining.
Song: This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine...let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
This Little Light of Mine
