Subtle Sin - Amos 1:1 - 2:5

Amos a shepherd and business man from Judah really brings about the issues that the two kingdoms we're dealing with here. Both were in prosperous times and the poor were being oppressed says the scholars. These first seven Oracles seem to me to represent different types of compromise and oppression within the camp of Gods chosen people and Amos is calling it out and rebuking it. 

What areas of the world are encroaching into your life and leading you into compromise? Remember the enemy dosnt come raising a big red flag but is very subtle and crafty, most of the time it's barely noticeable and you have to dig deep to see it. You can choose to ignore these little compromises and allow the oppression to develop deep roots or expose these for what they are, SIN!
