Conviction from Amos

"Can two walk together except they be agreed?" Dad preached an awesome message this morning about being in "agreement with hell". He said that hell wants us to be preoccupied with the world, comfortable in our sin, spiritually blind, and mingled with the world. When he was talking about being mingled with the world, he mentioned that verse in Amos. It's as simple as that... I believe this is talking about the people you spend most of your time with. If you were not in agreement with the lifestyle they lead, the music they listen to, the attitudes they have, the way they talk... then you wouldn't be comfortable making them your closest friends. As I've said before, You are what your friends are! (or soon will be) That's why we should spend time around people who are going to lift us up and encourage us to be better, even if they aren't the most popular people you will meet.
I am really excited about going back to school this year. Amy and I are really going to try to hang out with a better group than we have before. We want to be friends with people who really love the Lord and live godly because that's how we want to be. Who you hang out with says a lot about who you want to be.
I think we can also apply this verse to God. You cannot walk with God unless you're in agreement with him. And you cannot be in agreement with him unless you are right with him. And you can't be right with him if you are living in sin. Think about that.... Are we really "walking with the Lord"?
