FAMINE
Today's reading: Amos 7-9

"The time is coming, says the Sovereign Lord, when I will send a famine on the land--not a famine of bread or water but of hearing the words of the Lord. People will stagger everywhere from sea to sea, searching for the word of the Lord, running here and going there, but they will not find it. Beautiful girls and fine young men will grow faint and weary, thirsting for the Lord's word." Amos 8:11-13 NLT

Famine-an extreme scarcity; a great shortage; starvation.

You might consider this request of mine to be nosey...

Or 'preachy'...

Or, quite possibly, none of my business...

But would you evaluate your house of worship for God's Word?

Is it proclaimed as the Truth?

Is it preached?

It is believed wholeheartedly?

Is it the basis for every ministry, program and service held?

Here is what I urge you to do when you get your answers:

If your answer is Yes, the Word of God is preached in my church...then support that local congregation, pastor and leadership with your attendance, your heart, your prayers and your tithes.

If your answer is No, no, it's not...then ask God to lead you to where it is. To direct your church to be filled with the Holy Spirit so fully that things change. To do a mighty work. To open eyes and hearts to the power of the Bible and its words.

Because as the Word says, the time is coming when the word of the Lord will be sought out, looked for, hungered after, hunted down by people needing it.

I want you to be a part of the church who feed these folks!

I also want you to be one of the ones being fed daily, and for sure every Sunday, from God's Word!
