Contents: Jehovah's controversy with Israel.
Characters: God, Amos.
Conclusion: Judgment begins at the house of God. The nearer men are to God in profession, and the kinder notice God has taken of them, the more quickly and severely will He reckon with them if they by wilful sin disgrace their relation to Him. We cannot expect God to act for us unless we are reconciled to Him.
Key Word: Punishment, Amos 3:2.
