你们要寻求良善，不要寻求邪恶，这样才可以存活。耶和华万军的神就必与你们同在，正如你们所说的。(阿摩司书 5:14)
Isn't it amazing how many people claim God is on their side? God has been "claimed" by those seeking to enforce slavery, practice prejudice, lie, bribe officials, practice hypocrisy, force injustice on the powerless, and practice "ethnic cleansing." But God makes the test pretty simple: do what is good, seek after the good, or you're not related to me! In the words of the prophet Amos, that meant equity for all peoples in court, in the marketplace, and in the place of worship. If we're claiming God is on our side, then we'd better draw close to the side of God, the side of good, justice, and mercy as God defines them!
