Does this sound familiar?

The prophecy of Amos, chapter 8 tells us that the Lord will never forget v7 the sins of profiteering at the expense of the poor vv4-6 and impatience with the Sabbath v5.
This brings His patience to an end v2.
The reason for this profiteering attitude is their attitude to the Word of God, and so the Lord will take it away from them v11.
The state of UK society is no different from former ages.
The solution is the same: we need the Christian Gospel.
Individual Christians, parachurch organisations and the institutional Church need to bring the Word of God to the nation - to be living letters, an open book “known and read by everyone”, as the apostle Paul wrote in 2Corinthians 3:2.
