Your Right to Choose - Amos 4:6-13

“The people of God had fallen asleep in the comfort of the privileges of salvation and needed to be jolted into the awareness that the only assured certainty of the possession of those privileges was the evidence of a life committed without reserve to being holy as their Saviour God is holy” (J. A. Motyer).

Warning after warning comes and you insist on doing life your way. I will catch myself saying "I have the rights". The truth is I do have the right to choose. You have the privilege to choose. According to scripture our choices are limited to God or Self. The choice of God leads to life, the choice of self to death. 

If you choose God then you have to pick up your cross or you haven't truly chosen God. In other words you have to die to your own selfish passions and desires to have them replaced with Gods passions and desires. This can only be accomplished by God in you through His Holy word in the secret place of prayer.
