Time to turn back

Sunday October 15th, Amos 5: 6 Turn back to the LORD, you descendants of Joseph, and you will live. If you don't, the LORD will attack like fire. Bethel will burn to the ground, and no one can save it. 7 You people are doomed! You twist the truth and stomp on justice. 8 But the LORD created the stars and put them in place. He turns darkness to dawn and daylight to darkness; he scoops up the ocean and empties it on the earth. 9 God destroys mighty soldiers and strong fortresses. We like to depend on a strong military. Our number one export is military hardware. We have just passed legislation to compromise, hear that, Compromise, on the ability to use torture on prisoners who have never had a fair trial to even determine if they are guilty or not. To more and more people in this world, we are not seen as those who hold the banner of justice, but greed. We should read the words of Amos not so much as a warning of what God will do to us should we persist in this ill begotten way, but rather what the Lord will allow us to do to ourselves.
