Findings

In our examination of Amos chapter 6, we had a slough of insights from the men, especially concerning this question:

5. Why would God use a shepherd -- as opposed to a Levite, for example -- to prophesy to these people?

Some of the comments showed excellent insight.

1. Joe: God likes to use the lowly.
2. Len: The lowly are closer to the victims of injustice.
3. Bob: Jesus lowered Himself to wash feet etc.
4. German: If you listen to the rich and powerful, it might be from envy of riches or the compulsion by power. If you listen to the lowly, however, it is a true response from the heart.

I especially like the answer from German.
