Amos 1 Because

Verses 6,9,11,13

...because she threshed Gilead with sledges having iron teeth...

... Because she took captive whole communities and sold them to Edom...

... Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom, disregarding a treaty of brotherhood...

... Because he pursued his brother with a sword, stifling all compassion, because his anger raged continually in his fury flamed unchecked...

Can we say what not to do to others? Do we really need to be told not to do these things? Yes, we do because these evil things are still happening today. People are still being sold and children are being torn out of their mother's womb. There is still violence in this world by evil greedy people. We all need to bow down to God and accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord. He sees and is patient with everyone. He is waiting for you to repent and give your life to him and become a brand new creation.
