In today's reading we have two great passages. Amos speaks the harsh prophetic message but he can speak eloquently as evidenced by..."But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" This passage was quoted by Dr. Martin Luther King.
The second passage is from Paul and shares a practical understanding of the church. There is no need for competition for who gets credit in the church....God ultimately determines the growth!
"So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."
Healthy churches always know how growth comes...from the Lord!
