You Can't Stop Crooked

The Lion Roars

We think of judgment as something God does to us. But Amos shows us that judgment is the result of our own malformed character.

From Series: "The Lion Roars"

Amos pictures God as a lion, roaring God's judgment from Mt. Zion. We don't like to think of God as a judge. But the biblical picture of God as judge is founded in God's love as our Father in Heaven. We can hear God's judgment as words as a firm love calling us to be whole.

We often treat sin as personal moral failings but Sin has an institutional component too. What institutions in our culture form us to be sinful? And how can the Church act as a counter-institution that forms us to be holy?

What do we do when our systems fail?
