Playing With Fire (4 of 6)
Series: Amos

Amos 5:1-6:14
This morning, I continue a sermon series through the book of Amos. I have called this series Let Justice Roll. The title comes directly from Amos 5:24 where it says, ''Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.'' (ON SCREEN) This morning, we're looking at Amos 5-6 in a sermon entitled, Playing With Fire. READ 5:1, 6, 14-15 - PRAY
*Right now, more than 6,400 firefighters are battling California's two largest wildfires: The Camp Fire and the Woolsey Fire. In the last 13 months, fire crews have faced five of the 10 most destructive fires in state history. The death toll from the Camp Fire in Northern California increased last week to 79, while the number of people unaccounted for hovers around 1,000 people. The blaze was two-thirds contained as of Sunday night after consuming some 150,000 acres. In Southern California, just outside Los Angeles, the Woolsey Fire was 91 percent contained after burning 96,949 acres and killing three people. Dense smoke from the fires has been smothering parts of the state with what has been described as ''the dirtiest air in the world.'' In the Camp Fire, there are already 150,000 acres burned, almost 13,000 structures destroyed, 77 confirmed fatalities, and approximately 1,000 people unaccounted for. In the Woolsey Fire, there are approximately 100,000 acres burned, 3 fatalities confirmed, and almost 2,000 structures destroyed. We don't know yet what started these blazes but we do know the most common causes of wildfires. Sometimes, fires occur naturally, ignited by heat from the sun or a lightning strike. However, most wildfires are because of human carelessness such as arson, campfires, discarding lit cigarettes, not burning debris properly, playing with matches or fireworks.*
The number one reason for destructive and devastating wildfires is human error, carelessness, or foolishness. The same thing is true in our liv ...
