Silence

(silence)

          (more silence)

                (even more silence)

Silence can be awkward.   A long silence when waiting for a call is stressful.  Some people have to have the radio or television on all the time so there never is any silence.

In the Book of Amos, the Lord speaks through the prophet to tell of a famine. This famine isn't caused by a drought but by a lack of a word from the Lord.

I submit to you today that is where we are now.

There is no word from the Lord in our schools.  There is no word from the Lord in our workplaces. There is no word from the Lord in our government.   There is no word from the Lord in too many of our churches.

It is up to you and me to repent and get right with God so the word of the Lord will return. We need to teach our children and our grandchildren the word of the Lord.

      (silence)

Or the silence will be deafening!
