Amos 5:15
"Hate evil, and love the good"
Amost 5:15 reminds us that God demands we hate evil and love good. What will that mean for us?
Perhaps God will have mercy on us.
God's Word makes it plain that His judgment does not sleep forever, but that His hand of judgment will come sometime!
Is that time now? Perhaps.
At all times, God wishes for justice and righteousness. When His people ignore evil and fail to promote righteousness, what happens?

*Listen to a recording of Amos 5:15, Hate Evil and Love the Good*
We have seen in the Old Testament that God allowed the destruction of the Temple and the exile of His people by a pagan nation, after multiple warnings by prophets over many years.
Again, after the death and resurrection of the Messiah, the continued rejection of Jesus by the Jewish people led, under Roman occupation, to the destruction of the Third Temple (built by Herod the Great) and the 2,000 year dispersion of the Jews.
The key of Cm is easy to sing in, but harder to play on the piano than Dm.

God is the same today
Today, the Church is not prevailing against evil. In a misguided emphasis on "kindness" and "inclusion," the Church has failed to "love the Good."
Will there be mercy? God's judgment does not wait forever.
