Our Passions and Desires have consequences. What we perceive as freedom, is often the very thing that limits our lives. The world has many problems and every group seems to know what the problem is; someone/something else! We all create the 'us vs them' mentality, demonizing others while neglecting to perceive how our own actions have contributed to the oppression and injustice in this world. Unfortunately, the church is not immune to this. Amos helps us understand that it is God's people that God looks to, to be just in this world, yet we are often the cause of the injustices, and it does not go unnoticed!
