PM 12 April 2026 Every age produces its own form of complacency. For Israel in Amos’s day, it was the self-satisfaction of success. The economy was booming. Borders were secure. The palaces of Samaria gleamed with ivory and gold. People reclined on couches, sang idle songs, and congratulated themselves that God must surely be pleased with such prosperity. They mistook comfort for blessing, affluence for approval, and peace for piety. But the prophet Amos saw beneath the glitter. He saw…

AM Service, 21 September 2025 We live in a culture that is constantly measuring — comparing, ranking, evaluating. Sports teams track every statistic. Companies measure performance by quarterly earnings. Social media counts followers, likes, and shares.

But comparison doesn’t just happen on the institutional level. It lives in the human heart.…
