At some point in a person’s life, God’s singular, universal purpose for his/her existence on this earth will be made known to him/her.

Initially, the Lord, through Amos, warns the heathen nations relative to His wrath toward them. Then He addresses Judah, the southern kingdom consisting […]

Before delving into the letter written by Amos to the Children of ancient Israel and the modern day religious entity that calls itself “the church” (her spiritual descendants known as the Israel of God–Gal. 6:16), we will take a quick look at His description of the Catholic/Protestant Religious System at the present time as the […]
