κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως. The underlying meaning of this blog is this: the essential unity of Christians worldwide regardless of race, nationality, or religious denomination. There are real disagreements among us but there is a small remnant in every authentically Christian gathering. The Holy Spirit is leading His remnant into deeper understandings of the "meat" of the Gospel and not just the "milk."

Names in the Bible: Amos
Amos: Hebrew for "burden bearer." Amos, a herdsman, was one of the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament. Amos declared that God is the God of all the nations of the Earth, not just the God of the Israelites and that Israel, as God's Chosen People, has special responsibilities before God, not just on a corporate level, but each individual. Amos opposed ceremonial compliance without individual holiness.
