Lap of Luxury

Amos 6:1, 4-6

God condemns luxurious self-indulgence that doesn’t care about disobedience and God’s coming judgment. We are quick to qualify verses like this, since they describe us pretty well. We have luxurious beds, succulent food, and enjoy interesting music. And it is true these things are not wrong in themselves. But we shouldn’t breath a sigh of relief, and go on thoughtlessly in our luxury, then. We must mourn the disobedience of those around us. We must mourn the disobedience that these nice things can lead us into.
