Receive and Apply the Lord’s Word

Amos | Chapter 7:10-17 Pt. II ~ Episode 1076:

The confrontation of Amaziah towards Amos is almost identical to the Lord's account to Moses, concerning Cain and Abel. Even though Cain was given the warnings and he could, by the word of the Lord received directly from the Lord, he [Cain] could have just received it and applied it to his life. However, he chose to not do that; but, attempt to remove the standard of righteousness [found and approved by the Lord in Abel], while incorrectly thinking / planning that he [Cain] could still remain in the land, and continue to be blessed.
