A Christian should be adventurous, tremendously interested in life, on the race course running for that prize which is Jesus Christ. That’s what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, says in response to King Solomon’s experiments with fatalism and egotism in Ecclesiastes chapters 3 and 4. Hop aboard the Bible Bus as we hear more about the foolishness of the supposedly wise king.

Turn from sin; judgment is coming! That’s the message the prophet Amos was sent to tell Israel. Amos’ message was anything but subtle, in fact he even used biting sarcasm, reminding people of the famine, droughts, locusts, and warfare that came before.
God always warns His people before judging them. That’s the message we’ll hear from Dr. J. Vernon McGee as we’re reminded of examples from the days of Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Elijah, and even Jesus’ warning of Jerusalem’s own destruction.
Greater privilege means greater responsibility. That’s what we hear in this study in Amos, as he continues to build the case against Israel and reminds them of their privilege when Abraham was called from the apostasy of the Tower of Babel.
The voice of God is not being heard in this land, says Dr. J. Vernon McGee in this study. That’s also the word Amos had for the Israelites in his day. Learn more about God’s case against Israel and the harsh judgment He has in store for all those who turn their backs on Him.
In this study, we see how Amos overruled all celebrity order in his day and spoke the truth directly to those who needed to hear itincluding about judgments against Moab, Judah, and Israel.
