Amos knew that people loved worshipping, singing new songs, the sense of God being near to us. But he also knew they could easily be fooling themselves.
It’s difficult to get the full sense of Amos’ portrayal of the passion of God, trying to get the attention of his people in ways we might feel were extreme.
Amos is an uncomfortable read. But we need to be discomforted from time to time. Religion can be dangerous when it makes you think that you’re always right.

Opening times for The Vine Cafe over the Christmas holidays.
We must never lose sight of the fact that we struggle in hope and in certainty of final victory.
