  10. Lessons From Amos 1. The moral responsibility of God, Who is not only all-powerful and international, but also ethical and spiritual. 2. The most elaborate worship, if insincere, is but an insult to God. Religion is more than mere outward worship. It is not the smoke of the burnt offering that is acceptable to God, but the incense of a true and loyal heart.

  11. Lessons From Amos 3. There must be social justice among men. Morality was the one necessity for Israel. God's requirements are always moral. Moral issues determine the course of history. His whole message is a fitting prelude to James' definition of religion. (James 1:27) 4. Privilege involves responsibility. (Amos 3:2) Election to privilege is only another name for election to duty.

  12. Lessons From Amos 5. The meaning and purpose of calamity and trouble. (Amos 4:6). Every disaster is but a new call to repentance. 6. The necessity of personal conviction in a prophet. (7:14, 15) Religion is a personal matter; likewise conviction; they cannot be inherited.
