A famine of the Word

July 12, 2008

Amos 8:11 GW
(11) The days are going to come, declares the Almighty LORD, when I will send a famine throughout the land. It won't be an ordinary famine or drought. Instead, there will be a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.

While there are many TV and radio stations here the United States, there are less people listening to them. Eventually these stations will have to go by the wayside. The big ones will last longer, but the smaller local ones will dry up and be sold off.

That problem happened in the days that Amos lived. No they did not have TV ans radio back then, but they did have the preaching of the Word of God. It dried up so that people who needed it all of a sudden would not have it. It is a natural thing when people turn their back on God.

The question for today is how long will the Word of God continue today. Will there be a famine of it today as well?

Today
