Speak God's Word with Courage
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock. Amos 7:15
God’s call is an inner conviction given by the Holy Spirit that is confirmed by the Word of God. Amos was stirred to the depths of his soul by God’s hatred of empty ritual, cleresy, and professionalism (5:21). Have we no place for an Amos today? Arise servants of the Lord, and speak fearlessly and faithfully now. As a frontier preacher it mattered little to Amos the opinion of the chapel clergy or vested priests. His challenge is with us and still rings out. “Prepare to meet thy God” (4:12). --Les Rainey
Stand upright, speak thy thought, declare
The truth thou hast that all may share;
Be bold, proclaim it everywhere;
They only live who dare. --Lewis Morris
