Amos: God's justice and righteousness - Civil Sins

Sin influences society. Every culture (nation) is guilty of
collective sins which impede God's true justice and righteousness
from shining through - sins like pride, conceit, and contempt.
Jesus shows us a way to counteract these sins by being sensitive
to the silent cry of those around us and by ministering to people
in their need - we are ultimately ministering to Him.
