Together we unpack two unforgettable images: a man fleeing a lion only to meet a bear, another resting at home who is then bitten by a serpent. Those scenes expose two modern traps—keeping God at arm’s length and mistaking familiar routines for spiritual safety.

Then comes the piercing center: God rejects songs and feasts when the heart is far away. Not because God opposes music or celebration, but because He loves integrity—worship that overflows into fair dealings, compassion for the poor, and honest, humble lives. “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream” isn’t a slogan; it’s the pulse of true praise.

We speak candidly about the difference between doing church and loving God, about meals that become ministry, and songs that become prayer when sincerity leads. The invitation is simple and demanding: open your heart, let God clean what’s hidden, and realign your habits so grace shows up in your calendar, your budget, and your words. If you’ve felt the forms of faith grow heavy, this conversation offers clarity and hope.

Amos 5:18-24 - KJV

18 - Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.

19 - As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

20 - Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

21 - I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

22 - Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

23 - Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

24 - But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
