| What famine are you talking about? |
A
famine of hearing the words of the LORD!
Amos
8
11 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord
GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst
for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and
from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of
the LORD, and shall not find it.
Apostle
Paul's dying words to Timothy:
4:1 ¶ I charge thee therefore before God, and
the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing
and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out
of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure
afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Where
is the famine? We are nourished with plenty of fables... we are fattened with
many good words and fair speeches! People are flocking to our mega-churches!
