the movement - a righteous revolution
amos 5 | joel 2
Introduction
Amos and Joel are ancient prophets whose voice and message is for our times. Their writing is relative and should resonate within the lives of followers of Christ, and believers everywhere. Nothing in the past 2,500 years has made their messages obsolete. Amos and Joel represent a movement, a righteous revolution if you will. Not even the present-day practice of re-defining and re-writing Biblical context and Scriptural narrative can change the eternal truth of these two ancient voices. Both can be interpreted into present-day reality seamlessly, without ignoring original context or disrupting the intended meaning. Yes, Amos and Joel can and must still be heard and their uncompromised message of right and righteous covenant relationship with God, the urgent call of fidelity to the order and authority of His eternal and sovereign Word, and the intense appeal to establish and maintain a genuine habitation for the presence of Holy Spirit in us.
Amos chapter five continues to call spiritually compromised and sterile leaders and congregations to turn their self-awareness and appropriation into a genuine love for the righteousness of Christ Jesus, and to return to a principled and knowledgable practice of Biblical fidelity. Amos still beckons the capable and influential to do right by the wounded and disadvantaged, and more importantly, to do right by God who in His mercy has called us His own. He says, “Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you. Seek Him and live.”
Regardless of the obstacles of time, passage, and language, Joel chapter two still calls those who are overwhelmed by the great human struggle and tragic circumstances of life to seek remedy and hope through the regenerative love and power of Creator God. Joel’s words remain a profound “go to” perspective on the presence of God, and the downloading of the Holy Spirit into the lives of those who sincerely and humbly seek Him. He says, “And, it will come to pass, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Join us as we seek full understanding and engagement in what God is doing in our day. We seek we find, we pray we hear, we study we learn. Our families and those we love depend on this. There is indeed a movement, urgent and intense; a righteous revolution going on around the world. From the beginning, to the end, to the new beginning of a world without end – the movement has always been to God and His Word.
