In the last quarter of the twentieth century, I was a young Christian. There, I have dated myself . . . I am at least borderline ancient. I remember the challenges I faced as a young Christian. I still have eyes and ears, so I still am able to recognize what young Christians face today. Oh,

Amos was a prophet of Jehovah who proclaimed His message to the inhabitants of the Northern Kingdom, identified in the Bible as “Samaria” and “Israel” (Amos 4:1,12; 1:1). Because of Israel’s sin against the Lord, Amos’ message to it was, “. . . He will take you away . . .” (Amos 4:2). Those words

There is a huge difference between (1) reading the Bible and (2) studying the Bible. Reading God’s word is, however, a part of the process of studying it.
