Imagine a world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, where the one percent build bigger and bigger houses and the bottom ninety percent struggle to find adequate housing, where new stadiums and public buildings go up but there is no money for school children, where the decisions in the courtroom always seem to favor the elite class. If you can imagine such a world then you can relate to the prophet Amos. That was his world and he saw the problems not as economic or due to class differences. He saw instead a violation of justice, a denial of God’s plan that we work together for the common good. Imagine a world where we as the people of God made decisions out of concern for the impact it would have on those most in need.
