"I Can't Stand Your Religious Meetings."
22-Nov-2021
Peter W. Guess
This is a surprising confrontation in the context of the passage, so read on...
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! Amos 5:24 (NIV)
I can’t stand your religious meetings. I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions. I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals. I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making. I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. When was the last time you sang to me? Do you know what I want? I want justice—oceans of it. I want fairness—rivers of it. That’s what I want. That’s all I want. Amos 5:21-24 MSG
